Radiology is a broad and subspecialized field propelled by technological advances. Therefore by nature all radiologists are perpetual students.

Radiology outlook is rapidly changing - OBAMACARE!, dropping reimbursements, ACOs (accountable care organizations), job shortages, predatory teleradiology companies etc etc

Since most radiologists do not have direct contact with the patients, it is important for us to be proactive in building awareness about our specialty.

Due to complexity of the field, unfortunately, all radiologists make mistakes (we are only human). A second pair of eyes can literally make a difference between life and death. Therefore second opinions in radiology are often critical. Please post here or visit www.XMRI.com where anyone can quickly upload radiological images and receive almost immediate second opinion report by a Board Certified radiology expert.

This category will encompass new regulations as well medicolegal aspects of our profession.
