Barrett you are bloody genius. Thanks. One additional para would have been useful. But its good. A couple CT/MRI pictures or images would have been great. We will source these from GE or Siemens site.
Thanks.

Let me know what you think of this summary. I added in a couple of other pertinent facts I've come across over the past few days.
With the rate at which new radiologists enter the field being outpaced by a much larger increase in the number of images that any given radiologist is tasked to examine throughout his work day, health care providers are putting an understandable emphasis on efficiency gains. These derive largely from a combination of new technology and reinvented operating techniques touching upon such things as improved capacity distribution and more integrated data sharing methods; one of the most dramatic of these innovations has been the belated catching-on of teleradiology, a fast-growing sub-sector involving remote interpretation of images by radiologists whose skills might otherwise be underemployed at a time of increasing demand.
The relatively slow increase in the number of working radiologists within the U.S. is all the more remarkable for coming even in the wake of a half-decade growth spurt by which an influx of investment capital fueled the entry of dozens of new firms into the marketplace, with many of these having already proven their worth just a few years in. Today, radiology is a $13 billion dollar industry in the U.S. alone and growth is projected to continue, though perhaps at reduced rates; barriers to entry have heightened due to the now-necessary costs of developing or buying proprietary technology, satisfying consumer demands for expensive accreditation, and complying with the licensing fees of dozens of state governments. Teleradiologists, meanwhile, are finding themselves subject to the same regulatory requirements and billing issues that have long been faced by their more traditional counterparts.
Of course, the relative increase of the Middle Eastern health care sector as a whole - including more widespread demand for specialized treatment - has prompted investors both local and international to target the region for many of the same new developments in radiology. In preparation for the expected rush, Middle Eastern health care centers are revising their infrastructure upwards; Al Ain Hospital in Abu Dabai underwent a major renovation in its radiology department in September of 2009, and other are expected to do likewise over the next several years. At the same time, the particular needs of various Arab populations with respect to the relative prevalence of certain diseases and genetic factors is sparking an increase in research and medical literature focused on the occasional peculiarities of Middle Eastern medicine.

Kash-
Here are two head shots from which you choose. My bio is:
Barrett Brown is a regular contributor to Vanity Fair, The Huffington Post, True/Slant, and Skeptic. His first book, Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design, and the Easter Bunny, was released in 2007; his second, Hot, Fat, and Clouded, is set for publication in 2010.
Let me know if you need anything else. You want this re-write to be about 300 words or so, correct?
