• ACRad 43: DXA – Improving Reporting of True Change in Bone Mineral Density
• QMM 23: Low Dose Cancer Screening Recommendation for CT of Chest with Diagnosis of Emphysema
• QMM 24: Acute Rib Fracture Numbering on ED Trauma Patients
• QMM 27: Appropriate Classification and Follow-up Imaging for Incidental Pancreatic Cysts

The full 2025 QCDR measure specifications are on the ACR website.

ACR’s QCDR team will also hold a webinar Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2pm ET to walk users through how to wrap up 2024 MIPS reporting and how to prepare for 2025 reporting. Register online to participate in the Zoom meeting.

If you have questions about 2024 or 2025 MIPS reporting, contact Zach Smith, ACR Senior Quality Programs Specialist.
