New Accreditations for Maine Neurology Maine Neurology recently received two critical accreditations. 1) In January 2006, our Neurodiagnostics Laboratory achieved a 5-year term of accreditation by The Laboratory Accreditation Board of the American Board of Registration Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists. Successful accreditation means the EEG Laboratory has met strict standards and is to be recognized as a place where patients and physicians can have confidence they are receiving quality diagnostics. 2) In February 2006, our MRI service achieved a 3-year term of accreditation as the result of a recent rigorous survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical experts who assess the qualifications of the personnel and the quality of facility equipment. Our congratulations to the MRI and Lab departments!
