Mary muses on gender gap
Last month, we learned that women are paid less than men for a variety of jobs in radiology. This week, our columnist Dr. Mary Morrison Saltz ponders radiology's gender gap in her latest offering of Mary's Musings.
Mary reflects on her early years in radiology, including how much more difficult it seemed for her to make partner in her radiology group than male radiologists with the same experience and qualifications. She also had to navigate more than a few bumpy moments along the way.
But ultimately she persevered, making partner while negotiating an agreement with her group that enabled her to balance family and work. How did she do it, and what does it tell us about the gender gap? Find out by clicking here, or visit our Imaging Leaders Digital Community at leaders.auntminnie.com.
More news from SNMMI 2013
Finally, visit our Molecular Imaging Digital Community for more news from the just-concluded Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) meeting in Vancouver.
You'll find an article describing some of the most novel research presented at SNMMI 2013, work that demonstrates the incredible breadth of the discipline, from PET with carbon-11 to a new SPECT agent for prostate cancer imaging. Just click here for words and pictures.
Also, read about a comparison of exercise FDG-PET to the gold standard, SPECT, for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Researchers found that PET outperformed SPECT; learn more by clicking here, or visit the community at molecular.auntminnie.com.
