ABSTRACT
The ASNR Neuroradiology Division Chief Working Group's 2023 survey, with responses from 62 division chiefs, provides insights into turn-around times, faculty recruitment, moonlighting opportunities, and academic funds.In emergency cases, 61% aim for a turn-around time of less than 45-60 minutes, with two-thirds meeting this expectation more than 75% of the time. For inpatient CT and MRI scans, 54% achieve a turn-around time of 4-8 hours, with three quarters meeting this expectation at least 50% of the time. Outpatient scans have an expected turn-around time of 24-48 hours, which is met in 50% of cases.Faculty recruitment strategies included 35% offering sign-on bonuses, with a median of $30,000. Additionally, 23% provided bonuses to fellows during fellowship to retain them in the practice upon completion of their fellowship. Internal moonlighting opportunities for faculty were offered by 70% of divisions, with a median pay of $250 per hour.The median annual academic fund for a full-time neuroradiology faculty member was $6,000, typically excluding license fees but including ACR and ABR membership, leaving $4,000 for professional expenses.This survey calls for further dialogue on adapting and innovating academic institutions to meet evolving needs in neuroradiology.
