New standards for hospital accreditation and health care reimbursement may require that faculty subspecialists be more available after regular working hours to supervise residents in academic radiology departments. We designed a receiver operating characteristic study to determine whether a thoracic radiologist who evaluated computed radiography (CR) images of the chest at a home-based teleradiology workstation could add significant value to a junior resident's interpretations of films within the hospital for acutely ill patients.
