The general radiologist in the 21st century.

An ACR task force investigated the changing roles of general and subspecialized radiologists in current academic and private practice settings. The task force considered historical factors that influenced the evolution of current practice models and evaluated recent socioeconomic trends that will influence the future of radiology practices. The task force proposes a new model of multispecialty radiologists as an exciting and viable option to help build robust future academic and private radiology practices.
