RadPath Concordance is a joint project between the ACR and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) that links radiology and pathology results and make them easily accessible for cancer tumor boards, AI, education and research. The organizations are creating a standards-based interface for the exchange of concordance data. The two groups have already engaged with Standards Development Organizations in developing and testing standards (IHE SDC and FHIR) for transmitting this information.

ACR and CAP formed different committees for PI-RADS® and BI-RADS® and identified the data elements for concordance from the CAP electronic cancer checklists. They developed a reference implementation of the infrastructure and conducted a demonstration and Connectathon at SIIM 2022.
