Is the Future of Radiology Diversity, Acceptance, and Mutual Understanding?

Is the Future of Radiology Diversity, Acceptance, and Mutual Understanding?

Hear from one of our #RADxx members, Amy Patel, MD, breast radiologist on the American College of Radiology’s blog. According to Dr. Patel, “We as radiologists will be serving a diverse patient population. We will need to be prepared to meet the needs of our patients, including arriving to mutual understanding to better serve them.”

Takeaways from the 2017 ACR Commission on Human Resources Workforce Survey

Takeaways from the 2017 ACR Commission on Human Resources Workforce Survey

One of the key takeaways of the 2017 ACR Commission on Human Resource Survey was that gender distribution remains the same; the radiology field is still primarily male. However, the divide is a bit less in younger age groups. And most importantly, only 13% of practice leaders are female. How can we encourage more women to take on leadership positions?

More Women Join ACR Leadership, But Rates Still Lag

More Women Join ACR Leadership, But Rates Still Lag

Over the past 15 years, the number of women holding leadership positions in the American College of Radiology (ACR) has significantly increased at the state level and in terms of fellowship recognition, according to a presentation at the college’s annual meeting in Washington, DC.

Survey: Rad residency programs must sharpen efforts to draw women, engage med students

Survey: Rad residency programs must sharpen efforts to draw women, engage med students

New female doctors applying for residency openings in radiology have different reasons for doing so than their male peers, and their priorities may challenge residency-program directors who’ve been trusting the conventional wisdom on things like work-life balance trumping career goals.

Information Technology Case Studies

Information Technology Case Studies

The Imaging 3.0 case studies series spotlights radiologists who are partnering with clinicians, other medical professionals, and patients to make the transition from a focus on the volume of scans read to the value of care provided. Each case study includes actionable steps that providers can follow to implement similar initiatives at their own institution

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly programmed. In the past decade, machine learning has given us self-driving cars, practical speech recognition, effective web search, and a vastly improved understanding of the human genome.

Strategies for Improving Reporting in Radiology

Strategies for Improving Reporting in Radiology

The radiology report is a critical component of the Imaging Value Chain. Unfortunately, the quality of this aspect of a radiologist’s work is often heterogeneous and fails to add significant value to the referring provider and, ultimately, the patient. Gauging what defines quality can be elusive; however, we elucidate techniques that can be employed to ensure that reports are more comprehensible, actionable, and useful to our customers.
