Dear AuntMinnie.com Member,
Competition is heating up in The Minnies, AuntMinnie.com’s annual event to recognize excellence in radiology. Your nominations have helped us compile a list of 228 candidates in 15 categories, representing a broad spectrum of issues in our specialty.
You’ll find categories like Most Influential Radiology Researcher, Scientific Paper of the Year, and Best New Radiology Product. Radiology administrators and radiologic technologists will also see categories geared toward their professions.
Voting is quick and easy. And you have until October 25 to make your decisions. After that, the two top vote-getters in each category will face off in the final round of voting, with the winners to be announced in November, just before this year’s RSNA meeting. So fire up your Web browser and head on over to minnies.auntminnie.com to start voting!
When you’re done, make sure to check out a couple new articles in our Imaging Center Digital Community, at centers.auntminnie.com. In our first article, Elsa Ozuna-Richards of REA Healthcare Strategies gives you a roadmap for how to add new services to your practice. You’ll find a comprehensive list of questions you need to ask before adding any new service, as well as the issues to keep in mind when implementing new services.
Our second article concerns the important topic of potential adverse consequences of contrast media administration. The author, a clinical pharmacy specialist, has examined radiology’s methods of tracking contrast administration and found them wanting. He calls for a more thorough system that will help both radiologists and other healthcare specialists prevent adverse events. To go straight to the article, point your browser here.
