Abstract: Effective interprofessional communication is crucial for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in radiology departments. This research paper explores the communication dynamics between radiologists, nurses, and patient advocates, identifying gaps and proposing strategies to enhance collaboration. Through a comprehensive literature review and qualitative analysis, we examine the impact of communication breakdowns on patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, and overall department efficiency. The findings highlight the need for structured communication protocols, shared decision-making, and regular interprofessional training to foster a culture of open dialogue and mutual respect. By implementing these recommendations, radiology departments can bridge communication gaps, improve patient care, and create a more cohesive and efficient healthcare environment.
