Abstract	The COVID-19 outbreak has played havoc within healthcare systems, with radiology sharing a substantial burden. Our purpose is to report findings from a survey on the crisis impact among members of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). All members were invited to a 42-question online survey about the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on personal and family life, professional activity, socioeconomic and psychological condition. Participants were classified based on working in the most severely affected Italian regions (“hot regions”) or elsewhere. A total of 2150 radiologists joined the survey. More than 60% of respondents estimated a workload reduction greater than 50%, with a higher prevalence among private workers in hot regions (72.7% vs 66.5% elsewhere, p = 0.1010). Most respondents were concerned that the COVID-19 outbreak could impact the management of non-COVID-19 patients and expected a work overload after the crisis. More than 40% were moderately or severely worried that their professional activity could be damaged, and most residents believed that their training had been affected. More than 50% of respondents had increased emotional stress at work, including moderate or severe symptoms due to sleep disturbances, feeling like living in slow motion and having negative thoughts, those latter being more likely in single-living respondents from hot regions [log OR 0.7108 (CI95% 0.3445 ÷ 1.0770), p = 0.0001]. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a sensible impact on the working and personal life of SIRM members, with more specific criticalities in hot regions. Our findings could aid preserving the radiologists’ wellbeing after the crisis.

Aim	Insights into Imaging is a peer-reviewed, online gold open access journal published under the brand SpringerOpen. Owned by the European Society of Radiology (ESR), Insights into Imaging accepts original articles, educational and critical review articles as well as position and recommendation papers from leading societies and institutions. Through critical thinking and re-thinking, the authors should provide an insight into how radiology is currently practised and analyse whether it needs to be re-shaped. Insights into Imaging is the official journal of the following organisations: European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) European Society of Head and Neck Radiology (ESHNR) European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR) European Society of Oncologic Imaging (ESOI) European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics (EuSoMII)
