1
Time Drain
Every hour spent reviewing cases is time a senior sonographer is not scanning, reporting or supporting service delivery.
The Challenges of Internal Peer Review
Most small clinics struggle to maintain consistent, high-quality peer review without significant administrative overhead.
2
Formal Evidence
Providers need a clear review log, learning themes, actions and documented quality-improvement evidence for CQC readiness.
3
Informal Systems
Ad hoc messages and screenshot opinions rarely create a consistent programme, clear boundaries or useful governance records.
Peer review evidence clinics can actually show
CQC does not usually prescribe one fixed ultrasound peer review percentage. What matters is being able to demonstrate a robust quality assurance process: image and report review, learning from findings, documented actions, audit trails and clear clinical governance.
Formal QA process
Evidence that ultrasound image and report quality is being reviewed in a structured and repeatable way.
Audit trail
Case review logs, outcomes, learning points and suggested actions that can be filed for governance review.
Learning and improvement
Monthly summaries highlight recurring themes, reporting gaps, learning outcomes, relevant learning materials and practical template or process improvements.
Named governance evidence
Outputs can support clinic governance meetings, CPD reflection, appraisal evidence and quality-improvement records.
External Image Review
Structured feedback on whether submitted images and reports are clear, complete and aligned with professional guidance.
Clear QA Outcomes
Green, amber and red outcomes help clinics identify learning, actions, escalation themes and targeted development needs quickly.
Monthly Governance PDF
Receive a clear PDF summary containing review totals, green/amber/red outcomes, learning themes and suggested actions.
Senior Sonographer Time Saved

Guidance-informed reporting support
ScanPeer reviews can include prompts informed by relevant current guidance and recognised reporting frameworks across gynae/pelvic, abdominal, renal and testes ultrasound. This includes RCOG, NICE, BMUS/BSGE endometriosis guidance, MUSA terminology for adenomyosis and myometrial assessment, fibroid reporting prompts, IOTA/O-RADS terminology and the IOTA ADNEX model where appropriate for adnexal masses.
Gynae/Pelvic
Supports consistent description of cyst morphology, solid areas, papillary projections, locules, acoustic shadows, ascites, CA125 context and local escalation where relevant.
Active
Endometriosis
Encourages structured documentation of pelvic assessment, sliding sign, deep endometriosis indicators and limitations where applicable.
Active
Endometrial Context
Prompts for menopausal status, bleeding history, cycle/HRT context and whether wording should recommend local pathway correlation.
Active
MUSA Adenomyosis
Supports structured wording using MUSA-style terminology, including direct and indirect adenomyosis features such as myometrial cysts, hyperechogenic islands, subendometrial lines or buds, fan-shaped shadowing, globular uterus, asymmetry and junctional zone appearances where assessable.
Active
Fibroid Reporting
Encourages clear documentation of fibroid number, size, location, FIGO type where appropriate, relationship to the endometrium, distortion of the cavity and features such as degeneration or calcification.
Active
Abdominal
Supports structured review of liver, gallbladder/biliary tree, pancreas where seen, spleen, kidneys, aorta and limitations, with prompts for focal lesions, duct dilatation, stones and follow-up wording.
Active
Renal Tract
Supports review of kidney size, echogenicity, cortical thickness, hydronephrosis, stones, focal lesions, bladder volume, residual volume and relevant urinary tract limitations.
Active
Testes Ultrasound
Supports structured documentation of testicular echotexture, focal lesions, epididymis, hydrocele, varicocele, scrotal wall, vascularity and urgent escalation where clinically indicated.
Active
ADNEX Model
For adnexal masses, ScanPeer can prompt for the key clinical and ultrasound variables needed for ADNEX-style risk assessment, without replacing the submitting clinician’s responsibility or local pathway.
Active

Green
No significant issue
The case is broadly clear and appropriate based on the material submitted. A small learning point may still be included.
Amber
Minor improvement
Useful reporting, documentation or image-quality improvement suggested, with a learning outcome or supporting material where relevant.
Red
Local escalation advised
A significant concern, limitation or uncertainty is identified and local senior review or escalation is recommended.

The full CQC-ready workflow tier that includes all the above plus audit reminders and templates.
Clear professional boundaries from day one.
ScanPeer is for qualified healthcare professionals only. It provides peer review, educational feedback and quality assurance support based on anonymised images and information supplied.
It is not a patient-facing diagnostic report, does not replace the submitting practitioner’s responsibility, and must not delay urgent clinical escalation, referral or local senior review where indicated.
Cases containing patient-identifiable information should not be submitted and will not be reviewed.
ScanPeer is not CQC-approved and does not guarantee CQC compliance. CQC does not usually specify one fixed ultrasound peer review percentage for every provider.
Instead, clinics are expected to demonstrate safe, effective and well-led governance systems. ScanPeer supports this by helping providers evidence structured peer review, audit trails, learning, action tracking and quality improvement.
Clinics remain responsible for their own policies, local protocols, escalation pathways and overall clinical governance arrangements.
FAQ
Questions before joining?
These answers keep the service clear, safe and realistic at launch.
Is this for patients?
No. ScanPeer is for qualified ultrasound professionals and clinics. It is not a patient second-opinion service.
Do I need to anonymise images?
Yes. You must remove patient names, dates of birth, IDs and identifying details before submission. Identifiable cases will not be reviewed.
What scan types are accepted first?
Early access covers gynae/pelvic, abdominal, renal and testes ultrasound. Other areas may be added as reviewer capacity expands.
Are reports based on current guidance?
ScanPeer reviews can include guidance-informed prompts from relevant professional sources and recognised reporting frameworks. These prompts support safer wording and completeness, but they do not replace local protocols, referral pathways or the submitting clinician’s judgement.
Do you use the ADNEX model?
Where an adnexal mass is submitted, ScanPeer can prompt for ADNEX-relevant variables such as age, CA125 where available, lesion size, solid component, locules, papillary projections, acoustic shadows and ascites. This is used as structured support, not as an automated diagnosis or replacement for local referral guidance.
Do you include MUSA adenomyosis and fibroid prompts?
Yes. Gynae reviews can include MUSA-style prompts for adenomyosis features, myometrial texture, uterine morphology and fibroid reporting, including size, location, FIGO type where appropriate, endometrial/cavity relationship and relevant limitations.
Do you review abdominal, renal and testes scans?
Yes. Early access includes abdominal, renal tract and testes ultrasound peer review, with structured prompts for image completeness, report clarity, key anatomy, limitations and escalation considerations where appropriate.
Can clinics use this for governance?
Yes. Clinic plans are designed to provide a repeatable review log, learning themes, learning outcomes, targeted learning materials, documented quality-improvement evidence and a monthly PDF summary for your governance file. The Compliance Plus tier can also include audit reminders, governance templates, action tracking and a monthly CQC-ready evidence pack.
What are CQC’s peer review expectations?
CQC does not usually set one fixed ultrasound peer review percentage for every provider. Providers should be able to evidence effective quality assurance, audit, learning, action tracking and governance. ScanPeer supports this by providing structured anonymised case review, green/amber/red outcomes, learning themes, learning materials and monthly governance PDF summaries.
Is ScanPeer CQC-approved?
No. ScanPeer is not CQC-approved and does not guarantee compliance. It is designed to support clinics with evidence for governance, peer review, CPD and quality improvement, while each provider remains responsible for its own regulated service and local governance arrangements.
Will this replace my final report?
No. The submitting practitioner remains responsible for the final report, patient communication and local escalation.
