Funding Information: The Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Consortium is an ongoing quality improvement program incorporating 40 imaging centers in the state of Michigan that provide coronary CT angiographic services (2–4,59) . The program is funded by BlueCross BlueShield of Michigan, and participation is required for reimbursement. Data collected include demographics, procedural indications, technical details including radiation doses, and clinical outcomes through 90 days of follow-up. An essential part of the continuous quality initiative process is a quarterly report for participating sites that enables cross-center comparisons on an array of quality metrics. A dose reduction “best practice” algorithm was established early as part of a consortium-wide intervention, and this algorithm is regularly revised to incorporate improving technology. Sites are required to present their quality improvement methods annually, resulting in steady declines in median radiation dose (2) .
