Since then, RADxx has continued to build its resource library, hosted multiple Cocktails for Change receptions, and run Tweet Chats that saw over 4.7 million impressions.

Those interested in applying may do so from now until November 10, 2018 at https://radxx.ambrahealth.com/awards. Eligible individuals could be physicians or work in the field in other roles such as administration or IT.
Award winners will be selected by the RADxx executive committee from eligible submissions. RADxx Awards recipients will be announced at a cocktail reception during the RSNA annual conference in Chicago, IL.
