Conclusion
This article summarizes the training and teaching of radiology residents before they attempt unsupervised emergency call, as reported in the radiologic literature. It is hoped that this report will prompt a serious evaluation of the responsibilities of radiology residents assigned to the emergency center and a reconsideration of the radiologic training and experience provided to radiology residents before they are required to assume these responsibilities. Clearly, education and training in radiology appropriate to the responsibilities expected of the on-call emergency radiology resident are required to assure optimum patient care.
