5. Boston Marathon Bombing: Review of Brigham and Women’s ED Radiology Response
Turnaround times for radiography and CT were compared during the incident vs. annual average
Results:
Statistically significant reduction in CT completion turnaround time (90 vs. 47 min (p=0.001))
Despite a larger number of concurrent imaging, no difference in report dictation turnaround time (108 vs. 107 min (p=0.55)).
