A resident of Sarasota, Florida, Dr. Alan H. Porter is an experienced radiation oncologist who was ranked for 14 consecutive years (from 1996 to 2010) among the “Best Doctors in America” database. Currently, he serves as the director of Porter Radiation Oncology. Dr. Alan Porter is board certified and a fellow of the American College of Radiology (ACR).
Founded in 1923, ACR is the leading professional society for radiology, comprising over 40,000 radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine physicians across North America.
In 2021, ACR announced the launch of a National Clinical Imaging Research Registry (ANCIRR). The existing six ANCIRR registries utilize ACR’s best clinical research and informatics resources, as will the eight additional planned registries. They are designed to collect diverse data and images from multiple institutions and integrate them into large diagnostic and research databases.
Unlike another ACR registry, the National Radiology Data Registry, which collects data from practices to facilitate clinical quality improvement, the ANCIRR registries aim at enabling researchers to tackle complex scientific problems and achieve results with a broader geographical and social outreach.
