Adapting to the New Normal: 🌐 With shifts in radiology trends and protocols since COVID-19, learn how we're navigating these challenges together. Stay informed, stay safe! #HealthcareInnovation #RadiologyTrends #COVID19Response

One of the things I've really enjoyed about being a radiologist is the focus on continual improvement. You experience this in every practice and it is one of the cornerstones of the American College of Radiology. I am happy to share the link to Radiology Partners Clinical Values Team's first case in a new peer learning initiative. These are great reminders and insights on findings we see daily in practice. Go here to view the case and download a summary: https://lnkd.in/enwbDQUB #RadRes #PeerLearning What methods are you using in your practice to enhance peer learning?

Did you know that nearly 80% of physicians are now employed by hospitals or corporate entities? Private practice is dwindling, and it's time to talk about it. As the landscape changes, so do the dynamics of care delivery. Sirona is here to make private radiology practice work again. At Sirona, we're committed to preserving the essence of private practice; from one radiologist to hundreds, Sirona empowers radiology practices of any scale to thrive. Maintain your independence while navigating the evolving healthcare environment and expand as your practice needs change. Let's lead the charge in reshaping the future of healthcare together.

At Synthesis Health, we’re reimagining how radiologists compare medical images. Our flickering technique enhances motion detection, helping radiologists quickly spot subtle changes—even when images aren’t perfectly aligned. Instead of side-by-side comparisons, radiologists can catch differences at a glance, making assessments faster and more intuitive.   Transform your radiology practice with tools built to make a difference. Learn more about our approach on our website: https://synthesis.health This video is part of a larger webinar series.

Happy 12th International Day of Radiology!!!☢️🩻⚕️ On this day in 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays, revolutionizing medicine by providing the first way to view inside the human body non-invasively. This discovery granted him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901. The first-ever X-ray, depicting Röntgen’s wife’s hand with a ring, remained famous in history!! Yesterday, November 7, was also an important date, as it marks the birthday of Marie Curie, the renowned scientist who discovered two new elements, polonium and radium, using techniques she invented for isolating radioactive isotopes, and who coined the term radioactivity, a concept that would become central to both science and medicine. Her achievements earned her a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, shared with her husband Pierre and Henri Becquerel, for their joint research on radioactivity. Later, in 1911, she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in recognition of her discovery of polonium and radium and her study of their properties. She was even the first person to win two Nobel prizes!! Curie’s work laid the foundation for radiotherapy and the treatment of cancer, making her contributions life-changing for generations. During World War I, she even developed the first mobile X-ray units, known as “Les Petites Curie,” to help doctors treat soldiers in the trenches on the front lines. Not only did Marie Curie’s life contribute significantly to the advancement of science, but her death also shed new light on the dangers of radiation exposure. Curie’s prolonged and unprotected exposure to radioactive materials, particularly radium, ultimately led to her death from aplastic anemia, a condition caused by bone marrow failure. At the time, the risks of radiation were not fully understood, and she often worked with radioactive substances without protective measures, unaware of the long-term health consequences. Her tragic death highlighted the urgent need for safety protocols when handling radioactive materials. This led to the development of radiation protection systems and the establishment of radiological safety standards. One of the most important outcomes was the creation of the ALARA principle, “As Low As Reasonably Achievable.” This concept emphasizes minimizing radiation exposure to the lowest possible levels, balancing the need for effective diagnosis and treatment with the imperative to protect both patients and medical professionals. Marie Curie's life stands as a powerful example of a woman who made history, despite the societal stereotypes of her time that confined women to the role of housekeepers. She defied those expectations with her groundbreaking scientific achievements, proving that also women could excel in fields dominated by men. November, thanks to incredible people like Röntgen and Marie Curie is really an important month for radiology:)!

As #healthcare evolves, so does the role of the radiologist. But what exactly does this entail? This white paper by the European Society of Radiology dives into the role of the radiologist as a communicator, a scientist, a teacher, and more. #InsightsIntoImaging #RadiologyAndBeyond 🔗 https://buff.ly/3Ei8jAW
