RSNA’s Public Information Committee (PIC) has launched a new program to help educate patients about the critical role that radiology plays in their health care. Before an audience of New York City reporters in June, RSNA presented its first media briefing. The theme of the media briefing was image guided therapies. Innovators and leaders in radiology offered information on topics ranging from uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), pelvic congestion syndrome and detachable coil embolization, to chemoembolization, gene therapy and new research published in Radiology about combination radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and chemotherapy. “A few years ago, conventional surgery with a prolonged hospital stay was a main stay of surgical practice,” explained Hedvig Hricak, M.D., Ph.D.,RSNA Board Liaison designate for Publications and Communications. “With the advancement of the technology, minimally invasive surgery has been introduced. Today, another development in the field of surgical practice is image guided therapy. It is performed on an out patient basis and, in many cases, is nothing short of a miracle.”
