    One of the pioneers of research on health services in radiology, Dr. David C. Levin, died on January 15.

    Thanks for posting this, Bob! The diagnostic imaging industry owes so much to Dr. Levin for his meticulous research on self-referral and his advocacy for quality; and for putting the spotlight on the abuses resuting from self-referral such as overutilization and increased health care costs. His voice was heard by many, including the readers of the New York Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/06/opinion/me-and-my-mri.html?searchResultPosition=1
