Dear Imaging Leaders Insider,
If sitting is the new smoking, radiologists may be more vulnerable than other physicians to a legion of health issues, from cardiovascular disease to cancer. So how can they get moving?
In this edition of the Insider, we're bringing you a study from the recent RSNA 2017 meeting that investigated the question. Find out what researchers from Yale University discovered when they installed under-the-desk cycles at radiology workstations in our Insider Exclusive.
After you've read our featured article, take a look at what else is going on in the Imaging Leaders Community:
