In this article, the authors review the evolving state of diversity in the field of radiology. The authors discuss several early and recent historical legislative milestones that increased the equitable delivery of health care in the United States, such as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which ensured that funds for Medicare reimbursement would be available only to desegregated hospitals. Furthermore, the authors examine the current state of diversity and representation in radiology, in which underrepresented minorities represent 8.3% of training and practicing radiologists, and women represent 27.8% of radiologists. Finally, the authors present arguments for diversity in the current medical education system, analyze hurdles to increasing representation in radiology, and consider the future of diversity and inclusiveness in the field.
在这篇文章中，作者回顾了放射学领域多样性的演变状态。作者讨论了几项早期和近期的历史立法里程碑，这些里程碑增加了美国公平提供医疗保健的机会，例如 1964 年《民权法案》第六篇，该法案确保医疗保险报销资金仅提供给非种族隔离的医院。此外，作者还研究了放射学领域目前的多样性和代表性状况，其中代表性不足的少数族裔在培训和执业放射科医生中占 8.3%，女性在放射科医生中占 27.8%。最后，作者提出了在当前医学教育系统中实现多样性的理由，分析了增加放射学代表性的障碍，并考虑了该领域未来的多样性和包容性。
