[Dysphagia] Videos without radiologists



Eric

I believe it varies from state to state based on licensure laws, etc.  I
know that in Arkansas, a radiologist must be in attendance.

I know this topic has been hashed around a bit in the past.  As
navigating the archives is a bit cumbersome, I am going to dredge up a
dead horse.  Forgive me in advance....

How many of you are doing swallow studies without a radiologist in
attendance?
Does this practice vary according to state guidelines?
Are the studies read later by radiologists?

If I recall both the American and Canadian colleges of radiology
advocate for the presence of a radiologist during the study...correct?

thanks
