Radiology practice leaders who begrudge requests for parental and medical leave—if any such leaders are still extant in 2022—received a bracing wakeup call in late April.

APP volume and share of image-guided paracentesis increased from 10.2% to 15.8%, and from 7.7% to 12.9% for thoracentesis, while Medicare reimbursement for both procedures has seen a reduction since 2012.

While informatics and information technology tools are essential, individuals can take a number of steps to improve their day-to-day productivity.

Across the West, for example, the rise in Medicare beneficiaries has outpaced rads by 10.1%.

Addressing microaggressions head-on is among the many pointed pieces of advice for those planning extended time away from work.

A group of top rads called on their colleagues to reach out to residents, medical students and premedical students to help drum up interest.

The specialty came in just below non-interventional cardiologists' $446K average and well-behind invasive heart docs' whopping $611K.

Growing imaging workloads and clear patient benefits should encourage rads to see this as an opportunity rather than a turf threat, two experts argued in a new editorial.
