The “crisis after the crisis”: the time is now to prepare your radiology department 2020-04-22 .txt text/plain 1295 70 43 Radiology departments prepare for the surge of COVID-19 patients by employing policies and procedures to ensure sufficient capacity for continued operation, to support the care of COVID-19 patients, and to maintain radiologic services for the entirety of the hospital and health system [2] . The aim of this communication is to increase awareness about the projected aftermath and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis on a radiology department, and to present possible solutions. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, healthcare providers outside the radiology department are suspending most non-urgent elective care. Advantages of the current COVID-19 crisis for a radiology department, at least ours, are the availability of time to implement solutions and a potentially increased willingness of the entire radiology team to comply with proposed measures compared to measures taken during a non-crisis setting [6] . It was demonstrated how our tertiary care radiology department prepares to process the large reservoir of radiologic procedures after the COVID-19 crisis in a timely manner. ./cache/cord-274918-dkl41b60.txt ./txt/cord-274918-dkl41b60.txt
