35. Radiology Workload is Up 90% Please Send Snacks *CME*

Imaging volumes are "down."

Radiologist workload is "up."

Length is stay is longer.

Wait. What?


In this episode of Contrast & Clarity with the JACR, Maddi and Jeff sat down with Tina Shiang, MD to unpack her recent analysis of inpatient imaging utilization and radiology workload over the past decade. Here is the twist: when imaging is adjusted for disease severity, overall inpatient imaging utilization actually decreased. But CT and MRI utilization rose sharply - and the professional workload tied to those studies skyrocketed. Translation? There may be fewer studies per patient overall - but we are reading far more complex studies.

If you care about imaging value, radiologist well-being, operational strategy, or the future of hospital-based radiology - this conversation and the underlying data are essential. Because the real question isn't just how much imaging we are doing, it's what kind of imaging we are doing - and who is carrying the weight.
