Radiologists thrive in temporary positions
The number of physicians working as locum tenens has reached an all-time high, and the call for radiologists specifically has hit a record peak. Recent survey findings from Texas-based Staff Care suggest that these physicians want rewarding medical careers without the hassles associated with full-time clinical practice.
The number of physicians working as locum tenens has reached an all-time high, and the call for radiologists specifically has hit a record peak. Recent survey findings from Texas-based Staff Care suggest that these physicians want rewarding medical careers without the hassles associated with full-time clinical practice.
Radiology temps were the third most-sought-after medical specialty in 2004 (15%), behind anesthesiology (31%) and psychiatry (29%). Radiology was the top temporary staffing need in New York, Florida, and Texas.
The survey included telephone interviews with nearly 600 physicians from a pool of 7500 locum tenens recruited in 2004. It showed that older physicians see temp work as a form of semiretirement, while younger ones consider it a way to find the practice setting that fits their lifestyle needs.
Healthcare institutions spent a record $3 billion on locum tenens physicians during 2004, more than doubling the $1.25 billion spent in 2001.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
