title: Challenges facing the mature radiologist: a guide.
abstract: Radiologists who are chronologically advanced (or mature, as the authors prefer to call them) are faced with many special issues, obstacles, and opportunities. These are in many ways unique and different from the circumstances involving those who are recently out of training or in midcareer. The authors discuss some of these circumstances. They look at the challenges facing mature radiologists through the prism of considerable personal experience, and they hope to offer some insight and suggestions as to how one might respond to these issues.
