Nighthawk is a type of teleradiology service that provides interpretation of radiology studies, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, during overnight hours when many radiology departments may not have staff on site. This can be particularly useful for emergency departments, where rapid turnaround of radiology studies is essential for patient care.

An Emergency Nighthawk service provides 24/7 coverage for emergency departments, which allows for timely interpretation of radiology studies and can help to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. With an Emergency Nighthawk service, emergency department physicians can quickly obtain expert interpretations of radiology studies, even during overnight hours or on weekends and holidays when radiology staff may not be available on site.

Overall, Emergency Nighthawk services can help to improve the quality of care provided to patients in emergency departments, by providing timely and accurate interpretations of radiology studies, even outside of normal business hours.
