Radiologist Incomes: A Global Perspective

Abstract

Purpose of Review

To present a global perspective on wages in Radiology.

Recent Findings

The level of income of radiologists in the great majority of countries reflects a combination of economic supply and demand, the wealth of the country, and political efforts. Incomes in Radiology may be extremely variable not only in different countries but also in the same country or even in the same department. There are several variables and factors that influence the expected differences in radiologist incomes, including country's Gross Domestic Product, location (metropolitan or rural), type of institution (public or private), financial perks and incentives, part time versus full time, subspecialization, age, degree, and gender.

Summary

In this paper, we review some of the critical factors involved in these existing disparities regarding radiologist's income. Discussion of related subjects of radiologist work is also made.
