Graphical abstract
Bar graph shows the percentage of extremely advantaged and extremely disadvantaged zip codes with American College of Radiology (ACR)–accredited advanced imaging facilities. Socioeconomic disadvantage at the zip code level was measured by the Area Deprivation Index. Zip codes at greater than or equal to 97th percentile of Area Deprivation Index scores were considered extremely disadvantaged, zip codes at less than or equal to third percentile of Area Deprivation Index scores were considered extremely advantaged, and the remaining 94% of zip codes were excluded from this analysis. COE = centers of excellence.

Bar graph shows the percentage of extremely advantaged and extremely disadvantaged zip codes with American College of Radiology (ACR)–accredited advanced imaging facilities in urban areas. Socioeconomic disadvantage at the zip code level was measured by the Area Deprivation Index. Zip codes at greater than or equal to 97th percentile of Area Deprivation Index scores were considered extremely disadvantaged, zip codes at less than or equal to third percentile of Area Deprivation Index scores were considered extremely advantaged, and the remaining 94% of zip codes were excluded from this analysis. Rural-urban commuting area codes were used to define urban status with rural-urban commuting codes less than 4 considered to be urban. COE = centers of excellence.
