I'm a proud supporter

Celebrating Passionately Pink Day at Our Hospital 2009.

On October 21st 2009 our department celebrated Passionate Pink Day to raise funds for the Susan Komen foundation. The staff made donations to wear pink to work for the day, almost everyone participated.Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested nearly $1 billion to fulfill our promise, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. If you would like to participate, then visit the website at Susan G. Komen.

Day in the life of a PACS Administrator!


This might not make sense if you are not a fellow PACS administrator, but if you are, it will seem VERY familiar... Thought I'd share this video for all the PAC's administrators

I found this on radRounds Video's
Check it out, and become a member!!

XRay Tech's Lounge

Xray Tech's Lounge

Here's a cool little site I thought I'd share with everyone today, it's called the Xray Tech's Lounge. This site is just for techs, X-ray, CT, MRI and Mammo. Have you ever just wanted to tell someone something stupid a patient, co-worker or supervisor said to you today? This is the place for you to unload and unwind.

This is not a place to bad mouth people or name names, just be anonymous and have fun. I've been a tech for a long time and worked in several states. I know sometimes when you think you've seen or heard it all, from a patient or a co-worker and even a supervisor someone else somewhere can top your story or they've had the same experience. Sometimes it's nice to know you are not alone!

Dave's Places In Radiology Listed in the "Top 50 Radiology and Sonography Technician Blogs"

Dave's Places in Radiology, and The Radiology Portal has been listed on the "Top 50 Radiology and Sonography Technician Blog" by Radiology Technician Schools.

I have strived since 1996 to make my website, and blogs, the most informative, and up to date, resource and research sites for radiologist, radiographers, and student radiographers.

Thank you for this honor.

New site added to Dave's Places In Radiology

Radiolopolis
An international group of Radiologists and educators developed Radiolopolis, which is a Radiology community for education, research and clinical practice. Radiolopolis is exponentially growing with almost 700 new members since March this year - faster growing than any other radiological community. The community is focussed on only radiological professionals - radiologists, residents and technologists.

What makes Radiolopolis so unique is that it concentrates multiple (some awarded) individual projects in this community, promoting in return these projects to a growing professional Radiology community.

We just implemented a blog feature, which allows every Radiolopolis member to run his/her own Radiology blog. We would now like to invite all radiology professionals to become a part of this Radiology community.

Radiolopolis has been awarded as "Top 50 Radiology and Sonography Technician Blogs" by Radiology Technician Schools.

Architecture for Radiology (the only architecture firm in the world focused exclusively on radiology design and construction) is pleased to announce that its radiology design work has been featured in a new article on the subject of reading room design.

The article is entitled “Illuminating Reading Room Design for Better Reading Strategies”. It was written by Justine Cadet, and published in the December 2008 issue of Health Imaging & IT Magazine.

The article addresses a number of key design parameters for reading room design, and would be a good introduction to the subject for radiologists, radiology administrators and/or radiology consultants involved in radiology room design, including the planning and design of reading rooms.

Amongst the topics covered in the article are: workflow within the reading environment, lighting; acoustics; HVAC; privacy vs. collaboration, ergonomics; standardization vs. customization, and design materials and colors.
