More and more, the conversation in radiology is turning to globalization. Expanding radiology services and educational efforts worldwide is now a focus of the RSNA and many other institutions across the country. This week, Diagnostic Imaging Editorial Board member Mina Makary, M.D., interventional radiologist and assistant professor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, explores the opportunities that are available for IR in resource-limited settings. Look for his column later this week.

Sexual harassment and gender discrimination is still a lingering problem in medicine, as well as in radiology. Recently, a study in Academic Radiology addressed this topic, exploring how it impacts the way female radiologist perceive the industry and their future careers in it. This week, Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Prachi Agarwal, MBBS, clinical professor of radiology at Michigan Medicine, about what institutions can do to curb this culture in today’s environment. Look for our interview with her toward the end of the week.
