This article will take a big-picture view of the issues of utilization, cost, value, quality, innovation, self-referral, specialization, commoditization, competition, and corporatization and suggest how they are closely interrelated.
These issues may have a major effect on the practice of radiology. It may be both presumptuous and platitudinous to suggest that our profession currently faces some of the greatest challenges in its history.
本文将从利用、成本、价值、质量、创新、自我推荐、专业化、商品化、竞争和公司化等方面的问题进行宏观考察，并探讨它们之间的紧密关系。
这些问题可能会对放射科的实践产生重大影响。如果说我们的专业目前正面临着历史上最大的挑战之一，这既可能是冒昧的，也可能是陈词滥调。
