An analysis of CMS data has shown radiology had little to do with increases in Medicare costs over a 10-year period ending in 2019.

Unique to radiologists is that their workloads have not yet declined to the pre-pandemic levels seen in 2019 like other specialties have started to witness.

Diagnostic radiology saw its median compensation rise just 1.6% from 2020 to 2021. On the other hand, interventional radiology enjoyed a 9.9% raise. 

MRI techs earned an average of $76,177 in 2019 and are making $82,395 in 2022. In fact, radiologic technologists across all modalities enjoyed a collective raise of 11.2% during that window.

Harvard researchers have piloted a curriculum for instructing radiology trainees in the business of modern medicine. The teaching team says its program is adaptable by any academic radiology operation.

Medical experts testifying in malpractice suits for the defense tend to have higher objective indicators of erudition than peers testifying for the plaintiff. Radiologists buck this pattern.

More than two years after the onset of the pandemic, changes in COVID-related policies and postures — as well as accompanying cultural shifts in the workplace — continue to drive trends in the job market for radiologists.

We surveyed radiologists, administrators and others radiology professionals to learn more about the overall health of the specialty in 2022 and beyond.
