Little has been written about rural frontier hospitals and the radiology services they provide. The authors surveyed rural hospitals in seven Western states, with emphasis on technologist accreditation, numbers and educational level of personnel, patient occupancy, test volume and referrals. They found accreditation, patient referral and employee credentialing to be a function of hospital bed size, while radiology department employment remained constant at 3 percent of the facility's total employment.
关于农村偏远地区医院及其提供的放射科服务的文献较少。作者对西部七个州的农村医院进行了调查，重点关注技术人员认证、人员数量和教育水平、患者入住率、检查量和转诊情况。他们发现认证、患者转诊和员工资质认证是医院床位规模的函数，而放射科的就业人数占医院总就业人数的比例一直保持在3%。
