Physician compensation increased in 2018, according to a new survey from AMGA. Diagnostic radiology, however, is one specialty that did not benefit from that trend.

Radiologists’ pay-raise rates are flat. Administrators are working hard to earn bonuses. Lots of technologists are looking for new opportunities, and few PACS pros are skimping on time off (but not many are overdoing it either). See the numbers behind the factoids in the tabulated results of the 2019 RBJ Salary Survey.

Radiology is the fourth most requested physician search assignment for the second consecutive year, according to a new report from Merritt Hawkins. In addition, the specialty’s average base salary is $387,000, up 4.3% from $371,000 in 2017/2018.

The average salary of a radiologic technologist is up 5.3% since 2016, according to a new survey from the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).

The average annual compensation for radiologists in the United States is $429,000, according to a new report from Doximity. Radiology was ranked 10th among all specialties included in the report.  

Last year was the first time in a decade physician salaries didn’t increase by at least 2 percent, according to a survey published this week by AMGA Consulting. Though radiologists saw a dip in their average salaries, they’re still faring well compared to specialties like neurology and internal medicine. 

Radiology is now the fourth most requested physician search assignment, according to a new report from Merritt Hawkins. The specialty’s average starting salary, however, is down 15 percent—dropping from $436,000 in 2017 to $371,000 in 2018.

The average salary for a radiology resident is $60,700, according to a new report published by Medscape. This puts radiology in the middle of the pack among all specialties.
