TL;DR: For promising new imaging technologies to reach widespread clinical practice, several milestones must be met, including regulatory approval, early clinical evaluation, payer reimbursement, and broader marketplace adoption.

TL;DR: The national radiologist workforce declines abruptly by more than half approximately 30 years after residency, and strategies to retain later-career radiologists in the workforce could help the specialty meet growing clinical demands, mitigate burnout in earlier career colleagues, and expand robust patient access to both basic and advanced imaging services.

TL;DR: Standardization of equipment, protocols, staffing, and examination performance should be goals of the operation, as an incorrect or inadequate imaging protocol will undermine any attempt to process patients in a safe and customer-focused environment.

TL;DR: Patency-adjusted payments for hemodialysis access maintenance differed by physician specialty, driven partly by discrepant rates of billing for operating room and anesthesia use.
