Save The Date For ISCT 2020

This year ISCT is moving our annual CT symposium to Washington, D.C. Be sure to save the date for the spectacular two-day event held August 21st and 22nd, 2020. We will be bringing together the top experts in computed tomography from all over the world. With lectures and workshops built for radiologists, physicians, technologists, medical physicists, engineers, residents, fellows, physician assistants, and nurses, the ISCT’s annual CT symposium is the gold standard in CT education and something we look forward to year-round.

Radiology CME Course Highlight: Managing The CT Operation

The challenges faced by a radiologist in a managerial position are much different from those faced in the reading room, and in order to effectively leverage your leadership role you need to be prepared to not only identify core challenges within your department, but also know how to appropriately navigate them. Our radiology CME course, “Managing The CT Operation”, equips you to do just that.

Radiology Doesn't Have To Be Boring: 3 Fun Things That Happened In CT This Week

It’s Friday, which means we’re ready to close out another great week. It’s been a pretty exciting one here in the radiology world, with tons of exciting new studies and news pieces fresh off the presses. It’s a big time for radiology, and CT is no exception. It feels like almost every single day there’s an exciting new case study, application or innovation being discovered for CT technology, and it’s something we’re pretty thrilled about.

Radiology gets a little bit of flack for being a “boring” field. As radiologists, we obviously think that assertion is ridiculous. Sure, some of the research studies can get a bit dry, but there are a lot of really cool things happening in our industry that are actually kind of fun, too! We think it’s important to highlight those things when they happen. So, without further ado, here’s a quick summary of three super fun things that happened in CT this week.

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Marilyn J. Siegel

ISCT16 was chock full of fabulous sessions and incredible speakers, but one of the faculty members who particularly blew us away this year was Dr. Marilyn Siegal. Marilyn, who currently serves as the Professor of Radiology and Pediatrics at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, is the prime example of what each and every one of us in the industry should strive to embody.

She’s a recognized leader in pediatric radiology with a special interest in the use of cross-sectional imaging techniques for the evaluation of pediatric diseases, and Dr. Siegal has devoted her life to our industry. She’s an incredible doctor, a respected teacher, a well-loved scholar, and a pioneer of research.

As the symposium gets closer, we wanted to take this opportunity to introduce another one of this year’s top speakers: Dr. Bhavik Patel.

Innovation in Radiology Education with Elliot Fishman, MD

Back in 2013, Dr. Elliot Fishman led an insightful talk on missed diagnosis in HU imaging and how to avoid them. This 10-minute talk “Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Renal Tumors: Did I miss That?” has remained one of our most watched talk years later. The video resides in our CME OnDemand section of the ISCT website, in case you haven’t seen it yet, but this year we are excited to see what new material Dr. Fishman will be presenting.
