WYLIE, Texas – Feb. 20, 2014 – Lake Pointe Imaging Center in Wylie has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in computed tomography (CT) as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR), a national organization providing programs that focus on medical imaging, radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive healthcare services. CT scanning, or CAT scanning, is a noninvasive medical test designed to assist physicians in the diagnosis and personalization of treatments for patients with various medical conditions.

“This accreditation is something Lake Pointe’s imaging center is very proud of and excited to receive,” shared Lake Pointe Health Network (LPHN) CEO Brett Lee. “It is always our foremost concern that the technology and care our patients receive is unparalleled and exceeds national standards of excellence on all fronts.”

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR practice guidelines and technical standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. Findings are then reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.

This year, four seniors, Thayer Atkins, Brock Bacon, Brock Thomas and Blake Troiani, signed national letters of intent to compete for various NCAA schools, beginning in the fall of 2014.

Atkins, a recent champion at the Texas Association of Private and Parochial School’s (TAPPS) state wrestling tournament, signed his letter of intent to wrestle at Duke University in Durham, N.C. In addition to winning his weight class at the TAPPS state tournament, Atkins also finished first at the recent Texas Prep State Wrestling Championships, earning him a bid to the National Prep Wrestling Championships on Feb. 20-22 at Lehigh University. 

Bacon, a former offensive lineman for TCA, signed with Dartmouth College, declaring his intent to continue his successful football career at the Ivy League school. TAPPS named Bacon a First Team All-District Defense, Honorable Mention Defense, and Academic All-State athlete for his outstanding performance, both on the field and in the classroom, throughout the 2013 season.

Thomas signed with Cornell University to play football as well. This season, Thomas, a former wide receiver, earned First Team All-District Offense, District Special Teams MVP and TAPPS First Team All-State Offense honors.

Troiani also declared his intentions, signing to attend and play soccer at Gordon College, a NCAA Division III and Christian school in Wenham, Mass. Troiani currently serves as captain for TCA’s varsity boys soccer team and was named an All District Second Team player by TAPPS for his playoff performance last season.
