Echo Accreditation

Rady Children’s Echocardiography Laboratory has received accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL), a non-profit organization that evaluates echo labs based on various quality standards. Rady Children’s is the only pediatric hospital in Southern California to receive this accreditation for all echo exams: transthoracic, transesophageal and fetal.

Echocardiography is a widely used non-invasive test to help detect and manage many types of heart disease. An estimated 10 million echocardiograms are performed each year in the United States.

The ICAEL was established with the support of the American Society of Echocardiography, the American College of Cardiology and the Society of Pediatric Echocardiography to provide a peer-review mechanism to encourage and recognize the provision of quality echocardiographic diagnostic evaluations by a process of voluntary accreditation.
