Radiology is a critical component of modern healthcare, providing essential diagnostic information to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. Radiologists play a key role in this process, interpreting medical images and providing reports to referring physicians. However, radiology report turnaround time (TAT) can be a significant issue, as delays in report availability can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment. This interventional study was conducted at a large academic medical center with a busy radiology department. A total of 20 radiologists were recruited to participate in the study, and they were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. The intervention group participate in virtual radiology rounds, while the control group continue with traditional in-person rounds. The average TAT for the intervention group was 2.5 hours, while the control group had an average TAT of 3 hours (p < 0.05). This represents a 17% reduction in TAT for the intervention group.
