Objectives: Using public data, this study examined the redistribution of imaging utilization and regional reading burden after Korea’s 2024 mass resignation of resident physicians and the conditions that increase reliance on outsourced/remote reading. Methods: Procedure, workforce, and population data (2020–2025) for six imaging groups were analyzed, and pre-crisis (2022–2023) and post-crisis (2024–2025) means were compared; interrupted time-series analysis and negative binomial regression were also conducted as supplementary analyses. Results: Utilization decreased by 14.5% in tertiary hospitals but increased in hospital- and clinic-level institutions. Non-capital regions showed a persistently higher per-radiologist burden (IRR=1.139, p=.001), and the gap did not widen post-crisis (p=.799). Conclusions: The findings do not directly measure outsourced reading, but show that crisis-driven redistribution compounds a pre-existing regional imbalance, increasing reliance on outsourced/remote reading. Therefore, reader traceability and quality management are essential factors.
