[GH253]

Or do they speak their findings into a microphone and have the information compiled into a report by transcriptionists?

Neither. Most radiologists use speech recognition software (i.e., they speak into a microphone which directly transcribes what they say into text which can be subsequently edited via voice command or keyboard).

Ditto.

There are still a couple transcriptionist-using programs out there. Mad old school, though.
