How these numbers are calculated
PhysEmp pulls every active radiology job ad on the site at the start of each quarter. Salary figures come only from ads where the employer posted pay. The average posted range is the average of the low and high ends of those posted ranges. Full-time and locum listings are combined. Figures are employer-posted and not independently verified. October figures exclude one Virginia listing posted at $68,405 – $88,926, which is far outside any radiologist salary range and appears to be a data entry error.
