    ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to determine whether academic achievement differs by gender among breast imaging radiologists.Materials And MethodsWe examined the gender disparity in academic breast radiology using several parameters, including the h-index, the number of publications, and the number of citations. We also inspected gender disparity in academic ranks and leadership ranks.ResultsThe research productivity of female breast imagers was found to be significantly lower than that of male colleagues across all academic ranks (p < 0.001). In addition, no correlation was noted between female gender and leadership positions (p = 0.57), despite the fact that women dominate the specialty of breast imaging.ConclusionThe number of publications by female radiologists has risen steadily over time; however, a significant gender disparity is seen in scholarly productivity.
