The ICAEL was incorporated in 1996 in response to the need for standardization and improvement of the quality of echocardiographic laboratories. ICAEL accreditation is defined by the intersocietal concept that all aspects of echocardiography be represented in the accreditation process, from the creation of the Standards to the review of each application for accreditation. A nonprofit organization, the ICAEL is supported by the following organizations while operating independently of their activities. Representatives from these organizations, listed below, make up the ICAEL Board of Directors.
