Introducing The ISCT Daily: Radiology Quotes Coming Your Way!
ISCT16 was awesome. If you attended yourselves or have been on any of our social media accounts post-conference, that’s something you’ll know for certain. Our speakers were incredible, the sessions were life-changing, and the wealth of information about everything CT that attendees left with was simply astounding.

We are huge proponents of learning and lovers of CT, and if there’s anything we can do to help share what’s going on in our industry with even just one more person, then we want to do that.

4 Computed Tomography Myths: Busted
If you’ve worked in radiology for a while, you’ll know that there are a ton of myths and misconceptions circulating out there regarding our industry, some of them more funny than others.

What To Bring To ISCT16
This year’s symposium is almost upon us, and as ISCT16 draws closers it’s time to start preparing for the conference! There’s a lot that you’ll probably pack if you’re attending this year. After all, at this point we all have the “generic conference packing list” pretty much memorized: 3-4 days of conference attire, a few fancy outfits for happy hours and dinners, a pair of pajamas, and maybe some normal people outfits on the off chance that you might have spare time to do something that’s not conference-related.
At ISCT16, we’re not as worried about whether you threw in three pairs of heels or four. We trust your judgment, and we’ll leave the clothes packing to you. There are a few other things we want you to add to your packing list this year that aren’t clothes-related, though!
