On the radio this morning I heard a story that said there would be 70% fewer radiologists in the United States within 10 or 20 years. (I forget the exact time frame.)

The reason is because of a trend to send the X-Ray or MRI results via the Internet to radiologists in countries like India, China, etc. They interpret the images there and e-mail back the results.

The average income of a radiologist in one of these countries is around $25,000 per year as opposed to $100,000 to $125,000 per year in the US.
