Women now fill the top editorial spots at 10 peer-reviewed radiology journals. Just like that, a new set of gatekeepers is shaping the conversation around scientific inquiry and discovery across much of medical imaging.

Who benefits and who pays the price when top-ranked medical schools withhold comparative student data from radiology residency program directors? Radiology researchers at Duke recently documented the commonness of the problematic practice.

Radiology that facilitates the sharing of resources and touchpoints within an enterprise but across geographic locales is the future of the specialty, according to two Harvard radiology researchers.

Whatever specific shape work takes in the near and distant future, it’s likely the COVID-19 era will be looked back upon as a before-and-after dividing line.
