- Structured so that all IAC-Nuclear / ACR required report elements are included
- 238 error-checks verify completeness, accreditation compliance & logical consistency
- Specific corrective messages to the user on exactly how to make sure reports are 100% correct
- Updated with changes in ICANL & ACR standards
It’s also compliant with these standards:
- 2016 IAC Nuclear/PET Standards
- 2017 ASNC Reporting Standards

43.8% of ICANL Labs Still Have Report Deficiencies
The most recent study that evaluated nuclear lab’s compliance with the reporting standards was published in 2017.
It showed that 43.8% of ICANL-accredited labs still have report deficiencies, even after 3 accreditation cycles:
The researchers concluded that labs still struggle in the following areas:
- Quantifying (properly describing) perfusion defects
- Report timeliness
- Integrating stress and imaging reports
- Documenting report approval date
Accreditation Lapse = No Revenue
- Non-compliant reports are the biggest cause of accreditation lapses.
- If your accrediation lapses, you can’t get reimbursed.
- Not even retroactively when your accreditation is re-instated.
Our Guide & Checklist to IAC Nuclear/PET Report Compliance
- Organizes the report requirements into meaningful categories
- Explains the requirements clearly
- Itemizes them into individual elements (with check-boxes)

Superior Reports Improve Your Reputation
The Report is All Your Referring Physicians See
- It irritates healthcare providers when they receive wordy, multiple page reports that don’t immediately make sense.
- Referring providers appreciate it when you make their jobs easier with clear, concise reports.
Many nuclear cardiology reports are sub-optimal
- Hard to understand, especially by non-cardiologists
- Use non-standard terminology
- Unnecessarily more than one page
- Multiple page reports can get separated from each other by referring MDs’ staff
The NucReporter creates reports that are
- Quick & Easy to Understand, even by non-cardiologists
- Error Free & Logically consistent- error checking ensures this
- Flawless in spelling, grammar & punctuation
- Very professional – enhancing your practice’s reputation
- 1 page: (Pages can’t get separated)
- Tested in the real world for 7 years
Quick, Simple & Easy to Use

Quick, Simple & Easy for Technologists
- Takes 2 – 2.5 minutes to transcribe Demographics & Stress Test data from a coordinated 1-page stress worksheet
- Can be done by a Nuclear Technologist or NP/PA/RA/RN/MA
Meticulous Documentation Protects Your Reimbursement
The NucReporter Documents Every Minute Detail:
We are under scrutiny to document that we perform tests correctly.
Did you know that a RAC can recover your reimbursment if you fail to document the route of administration of a pharmacologic stress agent?
Extreme Attention to Detail
Meticulous documentation protects your lab against:
- Audits and site visits by accreditation agencies
- Audits by Recovery Audit Contractors (RACs)
- Audits by insurance companies
Built for Appropriate Use Criteria
Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) are rapidly becoming a more important and essential part of cardiac imaging.
- It behooves us to become familiar with AUC & to start demonstrating AUC fulfillment in our final reports.
Our Indications variable choices are designed to demonstrate adherence to the Apropriate Use Criteria for Cardiac Radionuclide Imaging.
Forged in the Real World
Our system has been field-tested & improved daily, by the developer & our customers, for 7 years in an ICANL accredited lab.
Almost every clinical scenario has already been encountered and built into the templates.
