When a scan result takes too long, patients wait, referring clinicians make decisions without expert input and outcomes can suffer. Africa Telerad sets defined turnaround targets for every imaging modality, so your department knows what to expect and can plan around it. Emergencies and X-ray studies are targeted for completion within one hour, CT within 1.5 hours, and MRI and mammography within 5 hours. These targets apply 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Emergency cases and X-ray studies are prioritised and targeted for completion within one hour, at any time of day or night, including weekends and public holidays.
CT studies are targeted for completion within 1.5 hours of a complete, accessible study being received with the required clinical information.
MRI and mammography studies, which typically involve more complex interpretation, are targeted for completion within 5 hours.
Our operations team monitors every submitted study, prioritises urgent cases in the queue and follows up on anything unassigned or delayed, rather than leaving turnaround to chance.
