White Paper Appearing in JACR Results in Updated Scoring Language for RADPEER™


Based on the RADPEER Scoring White Paper, published in the January 2009 issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR), both RADPEER and e-RADPEER™ now contain revised scoring language. Please note that the scoring language has changed and clinical significance has been added to scores of 2, 3 or 4. In addition, PET has been added as an additional modality.
