Radiology Reports and Speech Recognition – Technology run amok!

As medical professionals in MRI and CT, we pride ourselves ontech101 operating a high quality, patient- focused imaging facility with exceptionally trained radiologists and state-of-the-art equipment. Although our radiologists sit in dark rooms reading scans day and night every so often there is a glimmer of humor, dark humor you might say, added to their day.
