The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) is primarily responsible for the development and maintenance of radiography practice standards. The American College of Radiology (ACR) focuses more on clinical practice guidelines and the accreditation of imaging facilities. The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is a professional certification organization that sets standards for certification and registration, but not necessarily practice standards. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is a regulatory agency that ensures the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and drugs, but does not develop specific practice standards for radiography.
