1) Describe two studies of radiologist assistant contributions to medical imaging. 2) List typical tasks that can be performed by radiologist assistants. 3) Identify documented time-savings for the radiologists when radiologist assistants perform these tasks. 4) Describe how radiologist assistants extend the reach of radiologists and improve medical imaging services.

This session will summarize the results of two studies of Radiologist Assistant contributions to medical imaging departments. The profiles identify examples of tasks that radiologist assistants can perform to improve the quality of health care delivery to medical imaging patients. The studies document time savings for the radiologists when radiologist assistants perform these tasks.
