Summary of the proceedings of the International Summit 2015: General and subspecialty radiology
Main messages
Subspecialisation and preservation of the integrity of the radiology profession are relevant for improved patient care.
Subspecialisation is needed in large departments, providing the basis for innovation and research.
Subspecialty sections should preferably remain within the overarching radiology department.
Shared facilities, efficient use of resources and common organisational structures are beneficial.
A multispecialty radiologist model is an option to build robust academic and private practices.
