    Author: Crewson PE, Sunshine JH.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 2000 May; 174(5):1203-9. PubMed ID: 10789763.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to explore the diagnostic radiology profession from the perspective of subspecialization and fields of practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data for 1244 practicing diagnostic radiologists were gathered from the American College of Radiology's 1995 Survey of Radiologists. Radiation oncologists, the retired, and residents and fellows were excluded. Responses were weighted to represent all practicing diagnostic radiologists in the United States and were compared with a similar previous survey. RESULTS: More than one quarter (28%) of diagnostic radiologists are subspecialists. Diagnostic radiology subspecialists were more likely than generalists to have fellowship training, work in center cities, work in large groups, and be employed by an academic institution. They were also generally younger and provided a narrower range of imaging services than generalists. CONCLUSION: Although most diagnostic radiologists are generalists, subspecialization will likely continue to grow.
