Celebrate 25 Years of Radiology with AuntMinnie.com's Anniversary Series!

For the last 25 years since our launch at RSNA 1999, AuntMinnie.com has sought to provide our members with timely and in-depth coverage of all the important news, research, and trends from the world of radiology. And so much has happened over the last quarter century.

In addition to the advent of managed care, Y2K worries, flat-panel detector-based digital radiography (DR), the CT scanner slice wars, full-field digital mammography (and later digital breast tomosynthesis), speech recognition software, the constant struggle for acceptance of mammography screening by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), and an increasing awareness of the importance of breast density, we've also tracked developments such as:

Not to mention the inexorable rise of AI over the last decade, the cloud, photon-counting CT, CT contrast media shortages, the impact of private equity in radiology to practice consolidation, the lingering effects of COVID, supply issues for CT contrast media, shortages of radiologists and technologists, and the rise of theranostics, to list just a few of the important topics we've reported on for more than two decades. 

To commemorate our silver anniversary

We're presenting 25 for 25 -- a weekly series that will feature our most popular articles from each of the last 25 years, culminating with our 25th anniversary at   RSNA 2024. We hope you will follow along as we take a trip down memory lane over the next six months.
