Diagnostic imaging reporting turnaround times

Diagnostic imaging reporting turnaround times Turnaround time (TAT) in imaging is the interval between an imaging examination and a verified report being made available to the referring clinician. Keeping TATs as short as possible is essential for the timely diagnosis and treatment of patients. Developed in consultation with and supported by the Royal College of Radiologists and The Society of Radiographers, this document sets out national turnaround time (TAT) guidance in England for imaging reporting TATs across clinical pathways, including the maximum timeframe within which all imaging must be reported.
