[Dysphagia] Videos without radiologists



We have radiology technologists trained in viewing MBS in the suite with us.  Images are then reviewed by the Radiologist.  We have found this has worked well for us.

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
