Rad practice to offer 24-hour reading with Intelerad

Radiology Imaging Consultants, a radiology practice that reads and reports more than 850,000 studies annually throughout Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky, is collaborating with Intelerad Medical Systems to offer services, including overnight coverage with final interpretation to hospitals and emergency departments.

Via Intelerad’s InteleOne distributed radiology technology, the practice will offer interpretations of exams as they are being performed, on a 24/7/365 day basis, said the Montreal-based company.
