Abstract
The coronavirus pandemic of 2019 (COVID-19) was arguably the most pivotal global event that current generations have witnessed, with unprecedented global challenges, and colossal effects on health systems. The financial consequences, in particular, were profound and far-reaching. Staggering estimates of up to $50.7 billion dollars per month in lost revenue for the US health system were reported by the American Hospital Association (Kaye et al., 2021). The pandemic caused significant increases in cost of drugs, disruptions to medical supply chains, day-to-day workflow, and operations in all areas of medicine and various healthcare systems. Radiology experienced a significant burden of the damage, finding itself at the forefront of the pandemic’s economic fallout (American Hospital Association).
2019 年冠状病毒大流行（COVID-19）可以说是当代人所目睹的最关键的全球性事件，它带来了前所未有的全球性挑战，对卫生系统产生了巨大影响。尤其是财务方面的后果，影响深远。据美国医院协会报告（Kaye et al.）大流行导致药品成本大幅增加，医疗供应链、日常工作流程以及所有医学领域和各种医疗保健系统的运营受到干扰。放射科承受了巨大的损失，发现自己处于大流行病经济影响的最前沿（美国医院协会）。
