The study is highlighted in the September issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. It is clear that the radiology practice in the United States is currently shifting to start proving coverage in a 24/7 manner. The continued coverage applies mainly to CT and MRI, where interpretation of generated images takes place rapidly either by on-call radiologists or teleradiology service providers. Yet, other medical imaging procedures, such as conventional X-rays, are still not covered completely, particularly during night and early morning hours.

Radiologist Work Shifts Significantly Improves Patient Care.
According to a recent study, radiologist work shifts are capable of significantly improving communications regarding urgent findings and thus enhance the levels of patient care. The study is highlighted in the September issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology. It is clear that the radiology practice in the United States is currently shifting to start proving coverage in a 24/7 manner. The continued coverage applies mainly to CT and MRI, where interpretation of generated images takes place rapidly either by on-call radiologists or teleradiology service providers. Yet, other medical imaging procedures, such as conventional X-rays, are still not covered completely, particularly during night and early morning hours.
