Absolute Accreditation Compliance
Standardized reports
Allows for objective communication of findings.
Standardization ensures that the report will mean the same thing to the physician reading the report as it did to the cardiologist who created the report.
The IAC recommends you standardize your reports according to ASNC’s 65 pages of reporting standards:
The NucReporter keeps you compliant with these standards.
Your reports match your IAC Policy & Procedure Manual
The IAC regularly checks that your reports match your protocols.
We meticulously customize your reports so that you sail through IAC re-applications, audits, & site visits.
We’ve got your back where compliance is concerned
There are many, many requirements your reports must comply with in order to satisfy the IAC.

Flexible Reporting
Cardiologists are very particular about what their myocardial perfusion imaging reports say. Some cardiologists like to a simple description of scintigraphic findings, others like summed scores, percentages, and their own sentences to put things in a certain context.
The NucReporter is very flexible & accomodates many different preferences.
- Reports can be simple & quick
- Or, they can be as detailed as you like
Custom sentences
- 4 dropdowns populated with your own custom sentences
- You quickly choose where they go
- Custom sentences available on Quick-Normal screen
- Type on the fly for idiosyncratic findings
Clincial defect descriptions in Impression
- Use accessible language such as “stress-induced ischemia” or “infarct” in the Impression
- Still satisfy the IAC with ASNC terminology in the findings section
Custom succinct Impressions:
The IAC requires 2 succinct Impressions, 1 for perfusion, 1 for LV function
- The NucReporter automatically generates Normal/Abnormal for each of these
- (This fulfills the requirements)
- Choose your own succinct Impressions from dropdowns if you like
Summed scores
Quickly report any combination of:
- Summed stress score
- Summed rest score

Report examples:
The report from any testing facility to the requesting physician is the single most important part of the test as it communicates the result of the test to the patient’s health care provider, allowing them to act on the result and provide meaningful care. … Therefore, it is essential that the results are reported accurately and concisely to reduce the need for unnecessary and repetitive testing and decrease patient risk.
