The traditional view of radiologists as physicians who add value to the health care system solely by generating and interpreting diagnostic images is outdated. Radiologists' roles have expanded to encompass economic gatekeeping, political advocacy, public health delivery, patient safety, quality-of-care improvement, and information technology. It is through these roles that radiologists will continue to find new ways to add value to the health care system.
传统观念认为放射科医生仅仅通过生成和解读诊断图像为医疗保健系统增添价值，这种观念已过时。放射科医生的角色已扩展至包括经济把关、政治倡导、公共卫生服务、患者安全、医疗质量提升以及信息技术等方面。正是通过这些角色，放射科医生将不断找到为医疗保健系统增添价值的新途径。
