Where this comes from

Abstract

We argue radiologists generate most of their value by serving as translators and communicators-linguists skilled in the languages of imaging. The disconnect between these core functions and how radiology practices are paid impedes our efforts to maximize value. We believe more investigation is needed to optimize the fidelity of our translations and the coherence, visibility, and actionability of our communications.
