[Cincinnati, OH, June 20, 2023] – Medality, the leading practice development platform for radiologists and imaging organizations, today announced the release of its 2023 Radiology Practice Development Report. This comprehensive report highlights the most critical training gaps and opportunities in radiology and is based on insights from over 2,700 radiologists across 108 countries.
The report reveals that radiologists are reading across an average of 4.7 subspecialty areas in their daily practice, with 40% reporting they read across all radiology subspecialties. These results are striking given a global effort toward increased subspecialization, though perhaps not surprising given that Practice leaders & Chief Medical Officers report ongoing challenges keeping up with increasing volumes in a broadening range of subspecialties and technologies.
This highlights the rise of the “multispecialty radiologist” and aligns with findings that the majority (55%) of radiologists practice in three or more subspecialties and 85% practice in two or more subspecialties.
The 2023 Radiology Practice Development Report also finds that confidence levels among current readers in each subspecialty varied widely. While most radiologists are at least somewhat confident, < 50% reported they are very confident reading cases in a subspecialty they currently read in daily practice.
Most striking was a lack of confidence in high growth imaging areas like Cardiac, Nuclear Medicine and Pediatrics. Radiologists report being less confident when reading:
“The lack of confidence among Cardiac readers is a particularly concerning result given the recent shift in US clinical practice guidelines where CCTA was given multiple class 1, level A recommendations for chest pain,” said Deanna M. Heier, PhD, VP of Educational Strategy and Operations at Medality.
“Cardiac CT volumes are expected to increase in the coming years. We need to ensure more radiologists are well-trained and confident in their skills in order to meet demand and provide quality care,” Heier added. “One piece of good news in the report is that we found that radiologists want to be trained in cardiac imaging, which had the highest interest for upskilling among all radiology subspecialties surveyed.”
The report also highlights a high interest in MRI training and education. Among all the imaging modalities, radiologists were most interested in learning about MRI imaging consistently across all subspecialties (Neuroradiology-97%, MSK-95%, GU-91%, GI-88%, Breast-84%, Cardiac 81%).
MRI volume has steadily increased over the last three decades. Many highly experienced radiologists were never trained in reading MRI scans, and given the high RVU values of MRIs, many are looking to improve their proficiency in this area.
Top subspecialty areas that radiologists are most interested in learning about are MSK and Neuroimaging, with about half of radiologists seeking to improve their proficiency in these areas.
“The strong demand for MSK and Neuro education is not surprising given the economic realities of private practice,” said Daniel Arnold, CEO and Co-Founder of Medality. “In a private practice setting, MSK and Neuroradiology scans generate high reimbursement and together make up the majority of outpatient MRI center volume. Referring clinicians in an outpatient setting such as orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, have their choice of where to refer patients and will send to those with higher quality images and reports,” Arnold added.
According to the report, the need for practice development is a real challenge for the field of radiology where imaging demands are increasing at a faster rate than the workforce can sustain.
While subspecialty fellowships are still popular, many residents are now entering the job market without fellowship training and are expected to quickly develop their skills on-the-job in multiple subspecialty areas.
Highly experienced radiologists are being asked to read in new areas and new technologies that were not part of their training. Upskilling and improved training is key to increasing the efficiency of the current workforce quickly and effectively.

[Cincinnati, OH, December 13, 2022] When your company grows its user base by more than 400% in less than three years in a field as discerning as medical imaging, you’ve got to be doing something right.
That’s what MRI Online, the leading learning platform for radiologists, has achieved since it launched in early 2020. What started out as a single MRI course has grown to more than 100 case-based video courses from leading radiology educators and one of the largest volumes of high-quality, peer-reviewed DICOM cases across all key imaging modalities and subspecialties.
That growth and comprehensive scope is reflected in the company’s new name: Medality.
According to Daniel Arnold, CEO and Co-Founder, the name change is long overdue and makes it clear that the company is focused on delivering value across medical imaging.
“Our mission is to transform the way radiologists learn and thrive,” shared Arnold. “Since we originally launched with MSK MRI, our platform has broadened to help radiologists upskill across all modalities and subspecialties, including high-growth advanced imaging areas such as PET, CT, Ultrasound, Breast Tomosynthesis, and more. We’ve changed our name to Medality, a combination of medicine and modality, to reflect that expanded scope and our goals for achieving a broader impact for radiologists, referrers, and ultimately patients.”
Medality’s emergence couldn’t have come at a better time. The increase in demand for medical imaging combined with the shortage of radiologists, which was only exacerbated by the pandemic, means that practice leaders and imaging departments are looking for ways to alleviate overworked, burned out radiologists that are increasingly practicing outside of their subspecialty training.
Over 98% of radiologists in the United States are fellowship trained[1], yet the majority (55%) of radiologists now practice in three or more subspecialties[2] and 85% in two or more subspecialties[3].
To address this reality, Medality is launching the first ever Practice Development Platform to help both radiologists and practice leaders. Radiology groups looking to grow their practice, meet increased imaging demands, or invest in their team’s skills without significant burden to their workload can benefit from Medality’s platform.
Medality’s Practice Development Platform helps imaging organizations and radiologists:
By creating tailored learning pathways, Medality customizes offerings to improve diagnostic quality, reduce turnaround times, and accelerate practice growth by assessing the clinical needs of a practice and identifying practitioners who would benefit from upskilling in targeted areas that the individual needs before they practice.
Throughout the process, Medality gathers performance data as the learners progress through their trainings. With this data, leaders and readers can assess whether they are showcasing demonstrated improvement in accuracy, confidence and efficiency before being placed into a new subspecialty.
With more than 100 courses, 4,000 bite-sized microlearning videos, and over 4,000 integrated, scrollable cases designed to simulate a workstation, Medality offers a flexible practice development solution that radiologists can access anywhere, anytime. Courses are developed in partnership with hundreds of top academic faculty, such as Dr. David Yousem, Dr. Stephen Pomeranz, Dr. Petra Lewis, Dr. Don Resnick, Dr. Rachel Brem, Dr. Suresh Mukherji, Dr. Stefan Zimmerman, and Dr. Lacey McIntosh.
Medality’s case-based education is accredited under MRI Online by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) and totals more than 600 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ across its platform. Learners can also earn SA-CME credits that meet the American Board of Radiology requirement for MOC as well as credits for MQSA, SCCT, NASCI, state licensure requirements and more.
