Advancing technology and an aging population are outgrowing the capacity of radiologists¹. Over 62% of radiologists in the United States report burn-out symptoms². In Germany, 76.7% report burn-out³.

Radiologists are under more pressure than ever to maintain a high level of accuracy while dealing with a substantially higher number of cases. Longer workdays with more after-hours obligations, higher expectations for report turnaround times, competing time demands (clinical, academic, administrative), and insufficient personnel all add to the stress.

This situation is similar across the globe. India, for example, with its 1.4 billion inhabitants, has one of the lowest numbers of radiologists per capita.

Radiologists share with PRMSE that “they need all the help they can get” to reduce their workload and relieve the stress caused by this overburdened situation.

Radiology Chairman, Pennsylvania:

“We cannot get our work done.” “I am fighting daily fires around personnel capacity.” “On many days, 400 CTs are left unread until the next day. Unacceptable.”

Radiology Professor, prominent thorax center, Germany:

“We need solutions that weed out the normal cases.” “This does not exist today.”

US Professor of Radiology:

“We simply cannot find the additional radiologists to fill out our capacity – they do not exist.” “Solutions easing our workload are needed!”
