Post-COVID-19 weekly volumes against the prior year’s comparable baselines over the first 21 weeks of 2020 for six AMSs in aggregate, to demonstrate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on radiology volumes

The three high-surge AMSs and low-surge AMSs weekly volume changes are separately shown in subsequent columns, as are volumes aggregated by modality for the six combined AMSs. The greatest drops are with breast screening mammography and DEXA scans; the lowest drops were with PET/CT, XR, and IR. AMS = academic medical system; COVID-19 = coronavirus disease 2019; DEXA = dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry; Diag = diagnosis; Fluoro = fluoroscopy; IR = interventional radiology; Nuc = nuclear; Scr = screening; US = ultrasound; XR = x-ray.
