RadSite Announces First Accreditation for Cone Beam Breast CT Imaging in the US

The Painless Mammogram medical practice and the Koning Vera breast CT imaging system are the first to be accredited

ANNAPOLIS, MD, UNITED STATES, May 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RadSite™, a leading accreditation organization promoting quality-based imaging practices, is announcing the accreditation of the first Cone Beam Breast CT (CBBCT) system specializing in breast diagnostic imaging in the United States.

"We are excited for The Painless Mammogram, located in Dallas, Texas, to be the first medical practice to receive accreditation for dedicated Cone Beam Breast CT (CBBCT) using the Koning Vera device,” remarks Dr. Richard Reaven, MD, co-founder and lead interpreting physician of The Painless Mammogram. “Thank you to the RadSite team for believing in this modality and for helping us reach this milestone.” Dr. Reaven is a board-certified and fellowship-trained radiologist specializing in breast imaging. 

“RadSite has the only standalone medical CBCT accreditation program approved by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),” notes Garry Carneal, JD, MA, RadSite’s President and CEO. “Last year, CMS approved breast CBCT as a new specialty module as part of RadSite’s advanced diagnostic imaging (ADI) accreditation program. Other CBCT specialty areas include dental, ENT, maxillofacial and musculoskeletal (covering chiropractic, orthopedics and podiatry).”

Dr. Reaven notes that “The Koning Vera Breast CT imaging system produces three-dimensional isotropic imaging of the breast. This new technology has the potential to save a large number of lives by offering women an option that is pain-free, with the improved diagnostic accuracy compared to a mammogram. This ground-breaking technology will be an invaluable tool in the search for finding breast cancer at its earliest and most treatable stage,”

“The Painless Mammogram imaging center underwent RadSite’s robust accreditation review process, which involves a desktop review, image quality review, and a physics testing assessment,” adds Mark Casner, MBA, RadSite’s Chief Accreditation Officer. “The RadSite CBCT Standards Committee carefully calibrated the Standards, the RadSite review team carefully assessed and audited Painless Mammogram for compliance with the Standards, and the Accreditation Committee, which I chair, reviewed the application on a deidentified basis and issued the accreditation review decision.”
