Mark Not in our ED. urgent head CT for Trauma, ? SAH, and CVAs just need a call to CT Radiologist for logistic purpose. anything else still a bit of up hill. All Trauma Series CT also just need informing the Radiologist to report it in timely manner. We are recently trying to even negotiate a Quota for our CTKUB and First Fitters CT. So far no success, but as you said CT is very much standard of care in the above and should not be overly scrutinised. I think entering negotiation with your "Friendly" Radiology Managers and radiology lead is a good starting point.
