Fig. 1 Graph shows scores (based on Likert scale from 2 to -2) given
to each scenario. Higher scores indicate stronger preference for local
radiology; lower and negative scores, stronger preference for international
radiology. Scenario 1 = equal services; 2 = international provides report in 1
day, all other services equal; 3 = international provides lower patient cost,
all other services equal; 4 = international provides both lower cost and
report in 1 day; 5 = same as 4 but different training and certification.
