“…The trend for radiology practice over the past decade has been one of increasing exam volume, exam size and complexity, and expectations for quality deliverables [28]. These increasing work demands on the radiologist community have likely contributed to increased visual fatigue [29].…”

“…Shortages of qualified radiologists and mammographic technologists have been reported in the past decade. [16, 23, 24] It is not clear whether efforts to increase the number of mammography machines or policies that enhance the supply of radiologists and technologists or facilitate image interpretation by radiologists at geographically remote sites will have the greatest impact on screening rates.…”

Objective: To assess the impact of mammography capacity on appointment wait times. Methods: We surveyed by telephone all mammography facilities federally certified in 2008 in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, New Mexico and New York using a simulated-patient format. County-level mammography capacity, defined as the number of mammography machines per 10,000 women age 40 and older, was estimated from FDA facility certification records and US Census data. Results: 1,614 (86%) of 1,882 mammography facilities completed the survey. Time until next available screening mammogram appointment was <1 week at 55% of facilities, 1-4 weeks at 34% of facilities, and >1 month at 11% of facilities. Facilities in counties with lower capacity had longer wait times, and a one-unit increase in county capacity was associated with 21% lower odds of a facility reporting a wait time >1 month (p<0.01). There was no association between wait time and the availability of evening or weekend appointments or digital mammography. Conclusion: Lower mammography capacity is associated with longer wait times for screening mammograms. Impact: Enhancement of mammography resources in areas with limited capacity may reduce wait times for screening mammogram appointments, thereby increasing access to services and rates of breast cancer screening.

“…This balance may change, however, as the interventional nephrology community joins the interventional radiology [24] and vascular surgery [25] communities in developing credentialing, training, and quality improvement guidelines [26,27] and increasingly lauds vascular access research by its members [28,29]. And with many radiology practices experiencing difficulty recruiting interventionalists [30,31], the impact of the fifth described contributor to radiology's loss of coronary turf (ie, a manpower procedural vacuum within radiology) remains to be determined.…”
