Radiologists’ tendency to collaborate with referring physicians in managing contrast media-related risk factors

The preference for a passive role among radiologists appears to be driven more by the limitations of the current medical service system and infrastructure than by a lack of awareness or motivation for teamwork. Recognizing these systemic barriers is essential for healthcare managers and policymakers to implement necessary organizational improvements. Additionally, radiologists who prefer a collaborative role are likely aware of the benefits of teamwork, highlighting their potential to contribute to future research and improvements in CM-related risk management. Enhancing collaboration opportunities and addressing structural deficiencies may facilitate the greater involvement of radiologists in multidisciplinary teams, ultimately improving patient care and CM-related risk management.
