A. No. The ACR Accreditation Programs recommend that qualified physicians follow the ACR Practice Guideline for Continuing Medical Education (a minimum of 150 hours in Categories 1 and 2 every 3 years with at least 75 of these hours in Category 1). The CME should include credits in breast ultrasound appropriate to the physician’s practice needs. (For diagnostic radiology, the guideline recommends that at least 70% be specialty specific.
