YES. They will be affected.
It can only help. They are already a god send in interventional radiology. They do the simple, lower reimbursing procedures like line placements or G-tubes, leaving the more complicated, interesting cases to the interventional radiologists.
They do not/will not read films on their own with out MD supervision.
