Some of my radiological heroes would report a staggering 30,000 to 40,000 radiographs a year. I remember the crossing of this particular radiological Rubicon about 15 years ago here in the U.K. And it is going to be mighty hard to stop or even reverse the radiological Moore’s Law of reporting. I still don’t know how they did it.
