does radiology get paid differently? - getting them sent to me

I am going from an hourly rate to a cpl. However, when I'm typing short reports such as radiology reports, the line count is so low that I don't make very much. The regular acute notes or clinic notes are longer and I make a lot more. Does anyone know how these are billed? ...

I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour.

Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...

I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you.

I realize it varies depending on where you live - but not by that much, I think.

No guarantee I'll even called for interview much less get the job, but I'm curious if the hospitals tend to pay by the hour or by page, etc. The benefits are incredible and that is the rea ...

I noticed that posting and sent an email. Pretty sure they posted something similar before because my email had saved their address in it. Never heard back though.

Heard nothing so far. Have to wonder. ...

I always have docs saying "a 5 mm foci" in the liver. Since foci is plural of focus, shouldn't it be a 5 mm focus? This isn't an isolated case, have heard many doctors over many years say this, have NEVER heard anyone dictate "a focus" -- they always say "a foci". Is this rad-slang or am I crazy or what? ...
