Working Groups

Working groups are composed of volunteers, mostly radiologist members and other medical specialists as required, who assist, guide, consult, create materials, research or advise as necessary to ensure that their assignments reflect the most accurate and professional results.

Many of the working groups are put in place to provide the CAR staff with advice and direction on very specific operations or programs run by the CAR office, such as the CAR’s Mammography Accreditation Program and each year’s Annual Scientific Meeting. Working Groups are also established to help the CAR formulate policies and timely guidance on very specific topics, such as position statements and advisories, or broad policies such as for finances, which are sent to the CAR Board of Directors for consideration and adoption. All Working Groups are task-specific and time-limited, which can range from weeks to months or longer if required.

The CAR regularly introduces new working groups to address timely issues. Let us know your particular area of interest beyond those listed. Some of the current CAR working groups are listed below.

We encourage our members to participate on our working groups. There is great satisfaction in having an opportunity to shape the future of radiology.  To volunteer for one of the CAR working groups, please contact us.

Artificial Intelligence

Mission: to discuss and deliberate on practice, policy, and patient care issues related to the introduction and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) mechanisms in imaging. In so doing, it will ensure that the CAR remains at the forefront of debates about the use of AI in imaging in Canada, so that radiologists can shape the way that the technology influences and impacts their work and role as physicians.
