sad to say but the limited number of radiologists and the ever increasing  
volume of imaging examinations leads to staffing shortages despite great  
increases in compensation.
every time a radiologist works the night tour, there is one less  radiologist 
during the day to do that work. if the hospital does not feed a  radiologist 
a full days work on a night shift, then we are wasting a limited  resource. 
 
That is the advantage of teleradiology. several hospitals any one of which  
alone cannot financially justify a radiologist in the house, can feed the  
radiologist his 150 exams per shift to generate the revenue to pay him.
