"In 1997 ASRT launched an aggressive campaign to protect patients from overexposure to radiation during radiologic procedures and help reduce the cost of administering health care. During the 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 Congressional sessions, ASRT introduced House and Senate bills that pursue basic educational and certification standards for health care workers who administer radiologic procedures in every state in the union. The bill — known as the Consumer Assurance of Radiologic Excellence (CARE) bill — would ensure that patients undergoing all types of radiologic procedures have the same assurance of quality as those receiving mammograms under the provisions of the Mammography Quality Standards Act." from the ASRT website.
