Radiology exams have all been digitized for 20+ years Medicare rules that they be read by a person licensed in the US. Every state has their own license board and application. Several years ago some exams were read overseas by US licensed doctors but this is pretty much gone. The cost difference has zero to do with malpractice. The radiologist gets about $10 for a chest X-ray, up to $100 for an MR. The vast majority of the cost is the technical fee which can run several thousand dollars for some exams. Outpatient centers are usually cheaper than hospital exams. Insurance companies negotiate with the various centers and radiologists what they will pay.
