Abstract
The ACR Appropriateness Criteria are an important effort aimed at establishing when imaging should be used in medicine. However, substantial improvements in the Appropriateness Criteria are necessary for them to meet current standards for evidence-based guidelines. In this article, we provide concrete suggestions for improving the evidence basis of the Appropriateness Criteria.
