Another paper suggesting that clinicians prefer some structure (but not too much structure) in radiology reports. There are always edge cases where structured reporting becomes cumbersome–and overly parsed reports are also inefficient/unreadable–but there’s no denying it’s so much easier for me to scan a prior report when it’s not narrative free text.

A reader asked if anyone had successfully started a new radiology private practice recently, particularly one that involved financing, opening up new imaging centers, and fresh payor contracts. There is a vacuum in some areas, especially with the PE-exacerbated instability, and therefore a clear opportunity to those who can muster the manpower (no easy feat).

As a follow-up, I thought I’d ask (on their behalf): is anyone who has willing to mentor other upstarts?
