Can a radiologist dictate a report and send it to an outside transcription agency for transcribing?

Radiologists have been dictating their patient reports over the years and transcriptionists used to figure out what they are saying. As the healthcare system progresses, technology like EHRs and speech recognition are turning difficulties during the transcription phase into serious challenges. As still many radiologists are dictating and self-editing their reports, there is still significant transcription activity.
