What is ICRA?
ACR, ASRT, and ARRT in 2007 formed a group called the Inter-Societal Commission on the Radiologist Assistant (ICRA). Representatives of the NSRPA have also participated in ICRA meetings. ICRA was created to build consensus on issues related to the practice of radiologist extenders. ICRA collects, verifies, and analyzes radiologist extender practice data as it exists in the current radiology practice environment to address issues such as scope of practice, reimbursement, and capacity in a unified manner. ICRA also provides input to the ARRT’s R.R.A. practice analysis updates.
