More Hospitals In Remote Areas Are Using Teleradiology

In order to cope with shortage of radiologists, a number of small hospitals in the Central San Joaquin Valley are starting to deal with companies that provide remote teleradiology services. It is a fact that several hospitals are cooperating with radiologists in other regions to interpret medical images electronically, especially on night hours and weekends, instead of hiring radiologists on-site. Yet, more hospitals are now using remote radiology services during weekdays.

Attending Workshops Reduces Radiation Doses During MDCT

According to a new study, radiologists and medical imaging technologists who attended one day dose optimization workshop were able to significantly reduce radiation doses accompanied with multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scans. These workshops are organized and conducted by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR). The study was published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
