Problems Crippling Radiology Departments

Medical Imaging demands become increasingly problematic to manage by the day, largely as a result of unrelenting pressure on hospital administration and radiologists to do more with less.  Labelled as a crisis by some and attracting growing media interest courtesy of recent patient deaths due to lack of availability of Radiologists during 2017, government studies confirm the problem is getting worse not better.

During the latter half of 2017 Everlight Radiology commissioned research on how hospitals and imaging providers were viewing and responding to the parallel challenges of increasing caseloads, declining budgets and a reduced supply of radiologists.  The conclusions summarised in four short white papers, make compelling and in some cases disturbing reading.
