RLI Taking the Lead Podcast
Episode 58: Centennial Perspectives
Five Experienced Radiology Leaders Share Their Perspectives on Radiology’s Evolution and the Opportunities and Threats Ahead
August 24, 2023
Join us as the RLI Celebrates the ACR Centennial with two very special episodes featuring two panels of radiology leaders representing different career stages and perspectives.
In this first episode, host Geoffrey Rubin, MD, MBA, FACR, discusses the evolution of the field of radiology with five experienced radiology leaders, representing radiologists who began their careers in the 1970s or 1980s. The field of radiology, or at least the use of electromagnetic radiation-based imaging, was already in its eighth decade at this point. And approximately half of the ACR’s history to date had been written.
These distinguished leaders will share their perspectives on how technology has been the fuel for practice innovation, the role academic researchers play in establishing the value of these innovations, the future of academic medical centers, the impact of consolidation and corporatization on private practice and how radiology training programs will need to adapt to meet the demands of radiology practice in the coming decade.
The panel will also discuss the role ACR has played in their career and what they see as key priorities for the coming years.
