By accurate count there were 1 417 Canadian diagnostic radiologists in active practice in 1982 compared with 1 293 in 1977. Between 1966 and 1975 an average of 69 were certified each year by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, while between 1970 and 1979 the number had fallen to an average of 59, with about four more entering practice following certification in Quebec or by recognition of American or British qualifications. The age of radiologists has risen and a larger proportion are women. Comparison with other data indicates that Canadian radiology manpower is now in balance. Continuation of manpower monitoring is necessary as a potential shortage of radiologists may occur because of the reduced number being trained, of physician immigration restrictions, of moderately less career-time in the work force on the part of women radiologists, of further advances in imaging technology, and of the demands of interventional radiology.
据精确统计，1982年加拿大有1417名从事诊断放射学工作的在职医生，而1977年这一数字为1293人。1966年至1975年期间，加拿大皇家内科医师和外科医师学院平均每年认证69人，而1970年至1979年期间，这一数字降至平均每年59人，魁北克省认证或认可美国或英国资格后约有四人进入该行业。放射科医生的年龄有所上升，女性比例也更高。与其他数据的比较表明，加拿大放射学人力目前处于平衡状态。由于接受培训的人数减少、医生移民限制、女性放射科医生在职工作时间略有减少、成像技术的进一步发展以及介入放射学的需求，可能会出现放射科医生潜在短缺的情况，因此有必要继续进行人力监测。
