Fact: russia invaded Ukraine. russia is the aggressor.

It’s no surprise that t & p, two men who habitually make up their own versions of reality, are scratching each other’s backs. Disinformation is the currency of oppression.

What does environmental sustainability have to do with radiology? ❓

🏥 Healthcare accounts for 5% of global carbon pollution—and radiology makes up a staggering 1/5th of that 🩻

(✈️ For perspective, aviation contributes ~2% globally.)

🗑️ ~2/3 of the energy used by CT and 1/3 by MRI scanners is wasted

Anyone at #RSNA24 thinking about how to make your work more accessible? Let’s chat about illustration!

A thoughtful drawing alongside your imaging examples can brighten your presentation and expand reach for your #research, #medicalinnovation, or #MedEd projects 🩻🧐

Sad to miss #RSNA24 this year! In honor, here’s a set of designs I made for an infographic about my #meded project a while back.

I’ll be following along on #radsky and happy to connect with folks who are at the conference!

Amazing resource! I helped turn this online course into a for-credit elective at Mayo and it was super popular with med students, boosting early exposure to rads and teaching essential reading skills for all docs! 🥼☢️

Validating study in Radiology:

#Radiologists are more accurate when provided with patient symptoms/history.

This is why good information transfer between ordering clinicians and radiologists is so vital.
