Advertising Information

  reach radiology market
Radiology Management is the official membership journal of the American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA). This information-rich journal offers readers a diverse range of management articles for practical use in their day-to-day work. The strength and timeliness of articles in Radiology Management reflect AHRA's commitment to providing radiology administrators a superior peer-written and peer-reviewed publication. That commitment has resulted in Radiology Management's success as the most widely read and respected publication among radiology administrators.

Editorial Mission

Radiology Management informs, enlightens and educates imaging and healthcare administrators on the non-medical aspects of the imaging sciences environment.

RIGHTSIZING YOUR REACH

In a climate where every aspect of healthcare is being evaluated for cost containment and restructured for efficiencies, your media selection becomes even more critical. Redundancies, overlaps and less influential audiences are a luxury increasingly difficult to budget-justify.

Other publications claim high readership numbers under the banner of radiology administrator, often including other titled personnel in this category, regardless of the department they serve or their purchasing involvement. Only Radiology Management can actually back up their superior lead in circulation — 90% radiology administrators by title, function and buying involvement.

Radiology administrators consider #1 ranked Radiology Management the most valuable source of professional information above other industry publications.

Your advertising message, featured in the most respected and valued publication for radiology administrators, is the best way to position your company and your product as leaders in the field of radiology.

TARGETING YOUR MESSAGE

Increasingly, the radiology administrator is leading the way in the midst of healthcare reform. As a leader, the administrator is actively involved and responsible for purchasing radiology equipment, products and services.

Radiology administrators are small in number but large in buying clout. When your advertising message needs to reach this influential audience, Radiology Management delivers the highest percent of practicing radiology administrator circulation.
