Practice Turnover Among Radiologists Increased 61% Over a Decade and is Linked to Clinical Workload A new study from the Neiman Institute found that practice turnover among radiologists increased 61% between 2013 and 2022. The study also found that turnover rates differed by gender, practice loca…

📈 New #NeimanHPI study in @jacrjournal.bsky.social: Radiologist turnover rose 61% over the past decade with clinical workload as the primary driving factor.

These findings reveal urgent opportunities to strengthen retention across radiology.

Pediatric Patients Exposed to Ionizing Radiation in Imaging at Higher Rates in Non-Children’s Hospitals than Children’s Hospitals A new Neiman Institute study , performed with the American College of Radiology’s Pediatric Imaging Research Committee, highlights differences in imaging use among children that raise safety concer…

New #NeimanHPI @jacrjournal.bsky.social study shows kids treated at non‑children’s hospitals face much higher exposure to ionizing radiation. Non-children’s hospitals used CT at twice the rate & used radiography at ~1.5× the rate. Children’s hospitals used MRI & US more often.

🌍 Joint research from @flo-doo.bsky.social @nyulangone.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social & #NeimanHPI reveals CT scans account for 96% of contrast use. Abdomen & pelvis scans alone driving 4.4 billion mm → highlighting clear targets for sustainability.

🎉 Exciting news!! Our Senior Director of Research, Dr. Eric Christensen, is a semifinalist for Most Influential Radiology Researcher in the Minnie 2025 Awards. 🏆

This recognition highlights his impactful work at #NeimanHPI & his continued contributions to advancing radiology research and policy.

Patients who talked about CT lung cancer screening with their doctors were more likely to actually follow through on getting scanned - according to an #NeimanHPI study this week in the journal CHEST via The Imaging Wire. #lungcancer #lungcancerscreening

Doctor-led Shared Decision-Making Significantly Boosts Lung Cancer Screening Adherence Over Time A new study published in CHEST finds that Medicare beneficiaries who participated in a shared decision-making visit with their healthcare provider prior to their initial lung cancer screening were …

📢 New #NeimanHPI study in journal CHEST
finds shared decision-making visits are linked to up to 32.5% higher adherence to annual lung cancer screening.

Current Challenges in Estimating the Pediatric Radiology Workforce and Access to Pediatric Radiology Care in the United States According to a 2021 survey by the ACR Commission on Human Resources, pediatric radiology subspecialization, characterized by spending more than 25% of time in subspecialty work, was more common in lar...

New #NeimanHPI opinion piece in @jacrjournal.bsky.social highlights the critical geographic disparities in #pediatricradiology access. Children's hospitals are crucial, but uneven pediatric radiologist distribution hampers care, especially in rural areas. #HealthEquity

Study Reveals Link Between Abdominal CT Use and Sarcopenia Diagnosis Among Older Adults A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found evidence that a new diagnosis of sarcopenia, a potentially reversible disease with low muscle mass and strength, often coincides with an a…

New #NeimanHPI study: Abdominal CTs could help spot #sarcopenia early. Though underdiagnosed, this muscle-loss disease may be detected opportunistically using CT scans taken for other purposes—boosting care & outcomes.
