Abstract
Burnout among radiologists has recently emerged as an issue that poses a threat to patient safety. Burnout adversely effects the quality of patient care and may lead to health problems in physicians. Approximately 84% of board-certified radiologists working in large hospitals in Korea responded that they had experienced burnout at least once. To overcome this, the standardization of physicians' workloads, as well as improvements in the professional workflow are necessary to ensure a healthy lifestyle balance. CopyrightsEntities:
