Abstract
As imaging utilization increases and reimbursement declines, radiologists must evaluate how to manage increasing volumes and remain an attractive specialty for future physicians. The use of physician extenders, also known as nonphysician practitioners (NPPs), in medicine has increased over time in a multitude of specialties, including radiology [1]. Although labor costs have been reduced and radiologists can focus more on complex imaging studies and interventional procedures, there are unintended consequences of NPPs in practice that could diminish physicians’ role as health care providers.
