The Tension There is an inherent tension in radiology between quality and speed. Obviously, there are faster radiologists and slower radiologists. And there are better radiologists and worse radiologists. It is not even that you are either fast or slow in all contexts. It is also not a false dichotomy in that you are either slow but good or fast but bad.
