The Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories (ICANL) has become a nationally recognized accreditation program with the primary goal of providing a multidisciplinary peer review program. The purpose of this paper is to review the structure and mission of the ICANL to help increase awareness of the importance of voluntary accreditation. Included is a broad review of the ICANL standards and their relationship to other nationally published standards and guidelines. A mandatory site visit is an integral part of the program, and specifics of the site visit are discussed along with a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of applicant laboratories. The benefits of voluntary accreditation will become clear as more facilities participate in the program.
核医学实验室认可协会委员会（ICANL）已成为一个全国公认的认可计划，其主要目标是提供一个多学科同行评审计划。本文的目的是回顾ICANL的结构和使命，以帮助提高对自愿认可重要性的认识。内容包括对ICANL标准及其与其他全国发布的标准和指南之间关系的广泛回顾。强制性现场考察是该计划不可或缺的一部分，文中讨论了现场考察的具体细节以及申请实验室的优缺点总结。随着越来越多的机构参与该计划，自愿认可的好处将变得显而易见。
