UPDATED: Full-time U.S. radiologists take home about $526,000, a figure that includes base salary, incentive bonuses and other income such as profit-sharing contributions. 

The acquisition will give Los Angeles-based RadNet an installed base of more than 1,500 healthcare provider locations, facilitating 8 million mammograms across 50 countries. 

“These estimates put CT scanning on par with other well-known risk factors for cancer, including alcohol and obesity," experts write in JAMA Internal Medicine. 

Jonathan Goldin, MD, PhD, is the California institution's first new imaging chief in 20 years, replacing noted radiologist Dieter Enzmann, MD, who is stepping down. 

RadNet provides 1.9M mammograms per year in the U.S., and adding iCAD’s installed customer base would boost the number of impacted exams to 10M. 

Previous studies have shown rads can spend upward of 60% of workhours on such duties, including curbside consults and multidisciplinary meetings. 

"These findings underscore IR’s accelerating transition toward comprehensive patient care, with significant implications for training, practice management, and the specialty’s role within the broader healthcare landscape," experts write. 

Radiologist Eric Cubin, MD, sued Wyoming's governor after he was removed from the state medical board. 

Arizona-based Southwest Diagnostic Imaging shared the breakthrough Monday, restoring access for patients covered by UHC’s commercial and Medicare Advantage plans effective May 1. 

The trend raises questions about the burdens being placed on a potentially vulnerable population, experts write in JAMA Health Forum.
