American College of Radiology® (ACR®) chapters play a vital role by offering ACR members the chance to participate in local meetings, connect with fellow radiologists and advocate for radiology at the grassroots level. Members can also influence national ACR policies and procedures through the ACR Council and contribute to the development of ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Guidelines. The College's 54 chapters encompass all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada and the Council of Affiliated Regional Radiation Oncology Societies.
