Virtual Radiologic/NightHawk Merger Garners Mixed Reactions
Radiologists have mixed feelings about the recent merger between Virtual Radiologic and NightHawk, ranging from pleased about the new entity being a potential partner to worry that it will take away radiology jobs.

 

To Compete, Radiology Groups Must Offer Specialty Reads
