ICAEL Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echo Laboratories (ICAEL)

ICAEL accreditation is a means by which echocardiography laboratories can evaluate and demonstrate the level of quality patient care they provide. After a laboratory submits the application to the ICAEL, the application undergoes a confidential peer-review by the ICAEL's trained reviewers, including both physicians and sonographers.

ICAVL Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL)

The purpose of the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL) is to provide a mechanism for accreditation of facilities that perform comprehensive noninvasive testing for vascular disease. Laboratories assess every aspect of daily operation and its impact on the quality of health care provided to patients.
