“…Furthermore, absolute numbers of prospective contributions remained—under postulation of evidence-based medicine as the goal—quite small. This correlates to the warning comments of several authors about the amount and quality of IR literature and, moreover, demonstrates that despite requests for more research activities in IR [13, 16–18], only moderate increases of high-ranking studies have been reached in absolute numbers. Nevertheless, even when based on small absolute numbers, significantly more prospective research in IR has been presented at the DRK.…”

ObjectivesEvaluation of structural changes and the weight given to radiation exposure of interventional radiology (IR) contributions at the Congress of the German Radiological Association from 1998 to 2008.MethodsAll IR abstracts were evaluated for type of contribution, design, imaging modality, and anatomic region. Weight given to radiation exposure was recorded as general statement, main topic and/or dose reduction. Statistical analysis included calculation of absolute/relative proportions of subgroups and ANOVA regression analyses.ResultsOut of 9,436 abstracts, 1,728 (18%) were IR-related. IR abstracts significantly rose to a maximum of 200 (20%) in 2005 (P = 0.048). While absolute numbers of scientific contributions declined, educational contributions significantly increased (P = 0.003). Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were the main IR imaging modalities, with growing use of CT (P = 0.021). The main body regions were vessels (45%) and abdomen (31%). Radiation exposure was addressed as a general statement in 3% of abstracts, as a main topic in 2%, and for dose reduction in 1%, respectively. During the study interval a significant growth of dose reduction abstracts was observed (P = 0.016).ConclusionsIR emerged as a growing specialty of radiology, with a significant increase in educational contributions. Radiation exposure was rarely in the focus of interest but contributions relating to dose reduction demonstrated a significant growth during the study period.Main Messages• Interventional radiology emerged as a growing specialty at the German radiological congress.• Significant increments of educational and prospective research contributions could be observed.• Despite a significant trend towards computed tomography, radiation exposure of IR was rarely in the focus of interest.• Contributions related to dose reduction demonstrated a significant growth during the study period.

“…Veterinary radiology careers are not unique to the shifting trend toward private practice. Other veterinary specialties and our physician radiologist counterparts have long discussed the grim outlooks and potential solutions for academic recruitment and retention. Realizing that problems are best solved together, the American College of Radiology (ACR) established the Committee on Academic and Private Practice Alliance .…”

As veterinary radiologists devote greater time to telemedicine consultation, residency training must evolve to reflect the skills of these services. The contribution of private practice/consultant radiologists to residency training has traditionally been minimal but academic and private practice partnerships in education and research can provide the framework for a well-rounded residency. These partnerships can also lessen the impact of workforce shortages in academia and provide financial compensation to academicians through external consultation. The purpose of this commentary is to review existing collaborative interactions between academic and private practice veterinary radiologists; with a focus on ways to sustain, improve, and cautiously increase the number of veterinary radiology training programs.

“…The improvements in technology that made imaging central to the practice of medicine resulted in an unforeseen increase in demand, which was followed by a resurgence of interest among medical students [4]. Though such an advance could occur again, is it wise to stake the stability of our field on its possibility?…”

“…Private practices offered higher starting salaries and short times to partnership, which academic groups were unable to match [4]. However, this situation was mutually beneficial, with some private groups funding fellowships for future hires [4]. Trainees were able to focus on their education, rather than hunting for jobs, and academic departments had help.…”
