Abstract

The proportion of women and under-represented minorities in radiology is not only lower than most specialty fields, but also the rate of change towards the proportions of representation noted in the medical community remains abysmally low. This review was performed to seek the trends in diversity in radiology during recent years. While female medical students account for half of all medical students in the USA during recent years, female radiology residents still make up only about a quarter of all radiology residents, radiology faculty members, and practicing radiologists. Blacks, Hispanics and Latinxs, Asians, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders remain under-represented minorities in radiology. While much attention has been diverted to diversity in radiology during recent years, trends of increasing diversity remain slow. Many papers have discussed proposed barriers to diversity in radiology and the proposed solutions, which we review in this paper.
