title: The coming crisis in radiological manpower--shortage?
abstract: The 1966 NACOR Report spurred such a sharp growth in numbers of radiologists that today there is concern about an oversupply. Considering all the factors involved--panic reaction to an undocumented "surplus", sharp diminution of the residents in the training pool, and potantial massive increases in demand for radiological services--the authors believe it not unreasonable to anticipate a real shortage of radiologists in the near future. Any deliberate activity at the present time to reduce the output of radiologists in this country would seem premature and potentially disatrous.
