RadSciences Group is releasing the results of the most recent Radiology Compensation Review that focuses on real-time wage changes and staffing trends that have affected radiology groups and hospitals over the past year, including their recruitment and retention efforts. The Compensation Review is a free resource that provides a summary of current data and market trends in all modalities of radiology.

The latest figures show a continued market demand for sonographers, vascular sonographers, cardiac sonographers and interventional technologists. The number of General, vascular and cardiac sonographer searches conducted by RadSciences Group increased from 47.9 per cent of overall searches in 2006 to 58.5 per cent in 2007.

The US Department of Labor projects the need for an additional 23,000 ultrasound technologists by 2014. The aging 'baby boomer' population and the advancement in imaging technology will likely drive the demand for imaging procedures to nearly half a billion outpatients and 100 million inpatient scans by 2008 according to recent research released by independent healthcare research firms. Considering the nation's aging population -- and looming healthcare staffing crisis, as reported by USA Today -- healthcare administrators must take heed to improve retention and increase recruiting efforts. There is an increasing need for hospitals to fill urgent radiology department needs and retain existing providers.
