Abstract

ACR RADPEER® is the leading method of radiologic peer review in the United States. The program has evolved since its inception in 2002 and was most recently updated in 2016. In 2018, a survey was sent to RADPEER participants to gauge the current state of the program and explore opportunities for continued improvement. A total of 26 questions were included, and more than 300 practices responded. In this report, the ACR RADPEER Committee authors summarize the survey results and discuss opportunities for future iterations of the RADPEER program.
