Practice guidelines are important for high quality and economical patient care. As gatekeepers to health care, primary care physicians should refer to imaging guidelines when treating a patient with breast disease. The American College of Radiology (ACR) has undertaken the task of publishing guidelines for breast imaging in the hopes of avoiding a plethora of competing, possibly contradictory guidelines written by groups less qualified in imaging protocol than the ACR and with the goal of minimizing the dilemmas of interpretation and patient management often present in breast imaging.
实践指南对于高质量且经济有效的患者护理至关重要。作为医疗保健的把关人，初级保健医生在治疗乳腺疾病患者时应参考影像学指南。美国放射学会（ACR）承担了发布乳腺影像学指南的任务，以期避免大量由在成像协议方面不如ACR专业的团体编写的相互竞争、可能相互矛盾的指南，并旨在尽量减少乳腺影像学中经常出现的解读和患者管理困境。
