Abstract
This summary of the proceedings of the 2023 ACR Intersociety Meeting discusses the seven most important challenges facing radiology today: declining reimbursement, corporatization and consolidation, inadequate labor force, imaging appropriateness, burnout, turf wars with nonphysicians, and workflow efficiency. Participants in the Intersociety Summer Conference-2023 focused their effort on identifying potential solutions given how critical these topics are to the sustainability of the profession.
