Given the difficulties in the current radiology environments and future Radiologist workforce shortages, Radiologist Assistants could become an effective solution to the existing organizational issues and could significantly improve the overall productivity of radiology departments. Workforce shortage leads radiologists to the need for performing more and more routine functions, while the quality of radiology care suffers.  The RAs is a beneficial option to hospitals and related healthcare facilities: they can not only relieve the burden of responsibilities and routine functions in radiologists, but can significantly contribute to improved care and productivity through reduced wait times, increased patient turnover, improved quality of pre- and post-procedural follow-ups, better patient interactions, and the reduced number of complications and lawsuits for malpractice.
