Industry-Sponsored Research Payments in Radiology: A National Open Payments Analysis

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to assess trends in industry-sponsored research payments to radiologists from 2019 to 2024, utilizing data from the CMS Open Payments Database. The findings revealed that radiologists received only 1.1% of total industry research payments in 2024, with a notable decline in their proportional share over time and significant funding concentrated among a small percentage of radiologists. The authors suggest that professional societies and academic departments should develop strategies to enhance radiology's competitiveness for industry-sponsored research funding, particularly in teaching hospitals.
