Watch a short video to see how the system works

There is no greater force today in radiology than the patient. 

Some might argue that financial issues matter more. But they don’t.

Without the patient, there would be no financial issues. No operational concerns. No need to be efficient. Certainly no reason to be effective. 

This truth has been staring radiology in the face for a long time.

Researchers in China have found that children left without direct parental care for extended periods of time show larger gray matter volumes in the brain.

MRI, athlete brain, concussion study, RSNA 2015

Some athletes who experience sports-related concussions have reduced blood flow in parts of their brains even after clinical recovery, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The results suggest a role for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in determining when to allow concussed athletes to return to competition.
