They used to say academics was less production/pay and private practice was high stress/high comp. The gap has narrowed because the academy is demanding much more, lots of rads are just nonacademic employees of the university behemoth working a generic job, and the labor shortage means hospitals/universities need to pay more to compete in the job market.

X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth to scanning your suitcase at the airport. But the high-energy rays also produce ionizing radiation, which can be dangerous after prolonged or excessive exposures. Now, researchers have taken a step toward safer X-rays by creating a highly sensitive and foldable detector that produces good quality images with smaller dosages of the rays.
