Recent analysis of the Open Payments program (OPP) demonstrated that research payments are increasingly dispersed through noncovered entities (NCEs) across specialties. It is unknown how research payments are distributed to radiologists. The aims of this study were to assess trends in research payments to radiologists between 2015 and 2024 and to characterize payments distributed through NCEs.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A retrospective analysis of research payments in the OPP was performed, and payments accepted by radiologist principal investigators at NCEs were analyzed. Linear regression and descriptive statistics were used to examine annual payment trends.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Between 2015 and 2024, 57,772 research payments totaling $824.2 million were accepted by 2,963 radiologists. Annual payments increased 50%, driven by a 44% increase in payments to NCEs (<em>P</em> &lt; .01). At NCEs, median payments per principal investigator increased from $13,718 (interquartile range: $3,623-$53,795) to $24,350 (interquartile range: $5,500-$80,720) (<em>P</em> &lt; .001). In 2024, male radiologists received 88% ($58.8 million) of NCE payments, a 54% increase (<em>P</em> &lt; .01). Five manufacturers accounted for 40.4% of total research payments to radiologists.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Research payments to radiologists have increased significantly because of increases in payments to NCEs, concentrated among a select group of radiologists. When transparent and appropriately managed, NCEs represent valuable partnerships improving patient care, yet further research remains imperative to understand changes in research funding pathways.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49044,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the American College of Radiology","volume":"23 3","pages":"Pages 459-466"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145440145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early integration of radiology within undergraduate medical education can help address this knowledge gap; however, despite the educational value of preclinical radiology education, there are significant economic implications to increased radiologist involvement in medical student education. Radiologist time carries opportunity costs in terms of productivity and, without proper support, an added educational role can lead to radiologist burnout. Such barriers can be addressed through institutional investment in preclinical radiology education roles, faculty development, workload redistribution, and other approaches. Time-saving and cost-efficient educational strategies must also be used, such as use of asynchronous content, trainee staffing of teaching sessions, and web-based PACS tools. When implemented thoughtfully, preclinical radiology education can deliver high returns on investment in terms of creating radiology-competent future physicians, improving imaging utilization and health care efficiency, and potentially inspiring students to pursue careers in radiology.
