Abstract
Unless radiology practices increase their capacity to handle larger volumes of examinations, the risk of losing business to others is likely to persist. By performing varying radiologic procedures, RAs can help address workforce shortages in radiology. Radiologist assistants enable radiologists to increase practice productivity by lessening the burden placed on radiologists, which permits radiologists to spend more time on image interpretations. The potential reimbursement produced by RA students is worth the time and effort invested by radiologists during the educational process.
