Dear Imaging Leaders Insider,
Is radiology hazardous to your health? It might be, according to research presented at the recent RSNA 2018 meeting in Chicago.
A group from Tufts University found that more than half of radiologists believe that working as a radiologist has contributed to worsening health, with 60% reporting weight gain since they began their career.
Even so, there are ways to maintain one's health in a sedentary workplace. Check out what measures the Tufts group suggests to stay fit in our Insider Exclusive.
