What reading with AstraRad looks like
Work remotely with a model radiologists already know
Remote reading is now a well established part of radiology. During the pandemic, 65 percent of surveyed institutions introduced home reading environments and 74 percent moved routine daytime shifts to internal teleradiology. In the same research, 96 percent of radiologists reported similar or improved turnaround times from home (Alhasan and Alhasan, 2025 review).
At AstraRad, we have built our reading model around that flexibility while keeping schedules, expectations and support clear from the beginning.
Know your schedule before you start
Your coverage hours are agreed with you in advance and put in writing.
If you want nights, we can discuss nights. If you prefer daytime coverage, we define the role around that availability whenever the coverage need allows it.
Night coverage is scheduled rather than added unexpectedly. This matters because fatigue has a measurable effect on diagnostic accuracy (Hanna et al.).
We also agree your expected volume against the worklist you will actually be covering, so you know what the role looks like before accepting it.
Read the cases that match your training
We route studies by modality, body part and subspecialty.
Neuro studies go to neuro trained radiologists. Breast MRI goes to breast imagers. Pediatric studies go to pediatric radiologists.
The goal is simple. You should spend your reading time doing the work you are trained and comfortable to do, rather than working through a broad general list.
There is no hospital commute, no home site you need to report to and no city you need to live near.
Work from home without working alone
Our panel includes 240 subspecialist radiologists.
You will also have clinical support around you. 1 in 20 signed reports receives a second read from another subspecialist, and our major discrepancy rate is under 0.3% of signed reports.
Major discrepancies are reviewed with the signing radiologist during our monthly clinical meeting. New radiologists begin with a calibration set and feedback from their subspecialty lead.
Remote work can sometimes reduce everyday interaction with colleagues (JACR, 2023). We make that clinical connection part of the model instead of leaving each radiologist on their own.
You can learn more about how the reading operation works on the radiologist panel page. Our measurement methodology is available at /sla. For more detail, you can also read how reading for AstraRad works and how we approach volume and night coverage.
Who we are looking for
Between our radiologists, we hold licenses across all 50 states and provide coverage around the clock throughout the year.
AstraRad has been operating since 2020, and we review every radiologist application personally. If your background fits a current or upcoming coverage need, we would like to hear from you.
Board certification
You are board certified through ABR, ABR with CAQ, or AOBR. Tell us your subspecialty and the types of studies you prefer to read. We use that information when building your worklist.
Active licensure
You need an active, unrestricted license in every state whose patients you read. Our existing panel already provides coverage across all 50 states, so we can discuss where your current licenses fit and whether additional licensing makes sense.
Reading from inside the United States
All reads must be completed while you are physically located inside the United States. This is required because Medicare reimbursement rules do not allow covered interpretations performed outside the United States.
