Dear AuntMinnie Member,
We'd like to thank everyone who attended our virtual conference, RADExpo 2012: The Cutting Edge of Imaging, last week. The conference featured eight presentations on important issues in medical imaging, ranging from the political forces opposing radiology to clinical topics such as PET/MRI, CT lung screening, and breast tomosynthesis.
Although the event itself has passed, you can still view the RADExpo presentations in the virtual environment for the next three months. You can replay any presentation, and even listen to the live Q&A that followed each talk. Go to radexpo.auntminnie.com to get started, and click on the "View Archive" button.
We're also pleased to offer CE and CME credit for selected RADExpo presentations. Just visit our online CME portal, AuntMinnieCME.com, to see which presentations are available for CE and CME credit.
More on radiology's political foes
The keynote presentation at last week's RADExpo show was a talk by Dr. Bruce Hillman on radiology's remarkable turnabout, from one of the fastest-growing specialties in medicine to persona non grata (at least in the halls of federal policymakers).
How did this shift happen? You can view his presentation yourself in the RADExpo virtual environment (see above), but for the abbreviated version, click here for an article in our Imaging Leaders Digital Community.
In a related presentation, Dr. Bibb Allen Jr., vice chair of the American College of Radiology's Board of Chancellors, discussed the hits that radiology has taken in recent years at the hands of federal policymakers. From the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 to the multiple procedure payment reduction, radiology has suffered a series of economic body blows.
