Dear AuntMinnie Member,
We've released the list of semifinalists in the Minnies, AuntMinnie.com's annual event recognizing excellence in radiology.
Chosen through nominations from our members, the Minnies candidates represent the best of radiology. This year's contenders include 164 entries in 14 categories, ranging from Most Influential Radiology Researcher to Most Effective Philanthropy Program or Campaign.
In the next stage of the Minnies, our expert panel of radiology luminaries will vote in two stages, first coming up with a list of finalists and then selecting the winners. We'll announce the winners prior to this year's RSNA meeting in Chicago.
To see who's hot in radiology, just go to minnies.auntminnie.com.
2 weeks to RADExpo
There are only two weeks left for you to reserve a space in RADExpo 2012: The Cutting Edge of Imaging, the next event in our popular RADExpo series of virtual conferences.
RADExpo events give you the chance to hear high-quality presentations on important topics in medical imaging without having to leave your home or office. For our September 20 event, we've assembled a top-notch group of eight speakers, with topics including CT radiation dose, PET/MRI, digital breast tomosynthesis, and imaging informatics.
Kicking everything off will be Dr. Bruce Hillman with our keynote presentation, titled "Radiology in America: The Burden of Success." Dr. Hillman will address the many challenges facing radiology and what the specialty needs to do to thrive.
Registration for all RADExpo events is free, and you can even win valuable prizes for attending and participating. To reserve your seat now, go to radexpo.auntminnie.com.
Good news for MRI?
Finally, read up on the latest good news in an otherwise beleaguered radiology industry. A new market research report predicts growth in MRI scanner purchasing as sites look to replace systems that have been aging during the Great Recession.
Market research firm IMV Medical Information Division queried hundreds of MRI sites on their purchasing plans and found that the average age of the installed base has risen nearly three years, just since 2007. The implication is that many of these sites will replace these systems to get access to the new MRI technologies that have been developed in recent years.
