Radiographer-led 'hot' reporting can help optimize patient care

New research from the U.K. has revealed radiographer-led immediate (or "hot") reporting in the emergency room can cut overall hospital costs, reduce treatment errors, and improve doctor confidence. And if radiographer reporting roles were expanded to chest and abdomen radiographs, the total savings could be substantial.
