How do you know you can trust your Imaging Center?

Patients in Wyoming have more choices than ever for their medical imaging needs. According to data from the Definitive Healthcare ImagingView database, as of 2025, there are more than 15,000 active imaging centers across the U.S., with approximately 150 imaging centers within 200 miles of Cheyenne. That’s a lot of choices!

You can be confident in your choice by making sure your center has been designated a Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence (DICOE) by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The DICOE program was created by the ACR, a non-profit medical society with a 90-year history, in order to recognize facilities that deliver the highest levels of imaging quality, safety and care by surpassing the standard accreditation requirement. There are only 750 DICOE designated imaging facilities in the entire U.S..

Cheyenne Radiology is proud to be among the first 10 centers nationwide and the only confirmed DICOE facility in Wyoming to receive this prestigious designation, because it isn’t easy to get. An imaging center applying for this program must not only meet basic criteria—including pledges to Image Wisely and Image Gently—but also undergo a rigorous site assessment by the ACR.

The assessment team includes a radiologist, medical physicist, and technologist, who evaluate the quality of a center’s personnel, facility management, physical environment, equipment, radiation safety, policies, and patient rights and records. In many regions, independent outpatient radiology groups rarely pursue DICOE because it requires practice-wide quality governance, registry participation, and operational maturity. Only the very best centers are awarded the DICOE designation—like Cheyenne Radiology.
