It should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: these are my opinions, formed from the combination of my biases, my experience as a radiologist since beginning residency 10 years ago, and my many conversations with radiologists across the country. You don’t have to agree with me. Not Enough and No Help Coming For today’s needs and today’s technology, we have simply produced far too few radiologists.
