About US
Welcome to Radiology Business Journal, a new quarterly print journal published by the Imaging Center Institute. This next-generation economics journal is published by the team that founded and developed Decisions in Imaging Economics, Curtis Kauffman-Pickelle and Cheryl Proval.
We published our first quarterly issue early in April 2008 and will publish bi-monthly in 2009.
The challenges ahead for health care, and, more specifically, for radiology, will require vision, strong leadership, and masterful business skills. Radiology Business Journal’s mission is to feed all of those competencies with insightful articles written by expert authors.
We will track:
• Regulatory and legal developments
• Payor trends
• Growth strategy and opportunity
• New delivery models
• Leaders and leadership
Subscribe today to Radiology Business Journal, and get ready to explore the transformational leadership and business issues at work in radiology today.
