Breastfeeding has medical and economic benefits and providing an environment supportive of breastfeeding should be a priority in radiology to promote diversity, equity and inclusion. Most breastfeeding radiologists do not meet their breastfeeding goals and inadequate time for pumping is the most commonly cited barrier. The UCSF lactation credit model sets the standard for breastfeeding support in medicine by providing protected time without productivity penalties and it should be adapted and implemented across radiology practices to more fully support breastfeeding radiologists and radiation oncologists.
母乳喂养具有医学和经济效益，为母乳喂养提供支持的环境应该成为放射科的优先事项，以促进多样性、公平性和包容性。大多数母乳喂养的放射科医生都无法实现他们的母乳喂养目标，而泵奶时间不足是最常被提及的障碍。加州大学旧金山分校的哺乳信用模型通过提供无生产力惩罚的保护时间，为医学领域的母乳喂养支持设定了标准，应该在放射科实践中进行调整和实施，以更充分地支持母乳喂养的放射科医生和肿瘤放射科医生。
