Positions offered in the diagnostic radiology match of the National Resident Matching Program compared with number of positions filled in total and by seniors in the United States. Beginning in 2011, there is a divergence between number of offered positions and filled positions, with a sharper drop in the number of positions filled by seniors in the United States. PGY-2 indicates postgraduate year 2, or first year of a typical radiology residency.

Positions offered in the neuroradiology fellowship match of the National Resident Matching Program compared with number of positions filled in total and by graduates in the United States. The total number of filled positions in 2014 and 2015 appears to have leveled off, despite the larger number of offered positions compared with previous years.
