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.

The ISCT 2019 neuro session promises to be an exciting, spirited update of the most important, high impact developments in CT neuroimaging! A large topic of discussion will be the rapid, widespread growth of CT & CT vascular imaging for acute stroke diagnosis & triage. Read more ->

Meet ISCT 2019 faculty, Dr. Arun Krishnaraj. Each of the radiologists spotlighted on our blog bring something unique and valuable to our Computed Tomography Symposium. Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH is subspecialized in body imaging, is considered a leader in all the top radiology organizations and associations and has a unique perspective on how radiologists can serve as leaders for their practice or hospital.

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.

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.

With less than three weeks left until we kick off ISCT16, it’s all finally starting to feel real! We couldn’t be more excited about everything that’s in store for this year’s symposium, from the exciting new topics to the jaw-dropping speaker lineup and the incredible networking opportunities. As the symposium gets closer, we wanted to take this opportunity to introduce another one of this year’s top speakers: Dr. Bhavik Patel.

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.
