CAR - Canadian Association of Radiologists
The Canadian Association of Radiologists is the national specialty association for radiologists, dedicated to medical imaging excellence in patient care
From November 2-6, the CAR hosted its first Virtual Week on the Hill. For the last several years the CAR has traditionally hosted the Day on the Hill to coincide with the International Day of Radiology (November 8). The purpose of the Day on the Hill is to advocate for the advancement of radiology at the national level and to raise awareness of the important role that radiologists play in the healthcare system.
The CAR is pleased to announce the recent publication of the White Paper on De-Identification of Medical Imaging in the CARJ. Published in two parts – General Principles and Practical Considerations, the paper provides recommendations for CAR members and the Canadian radiology community to safely and efficiently maintain data privacy in the era of artificial intelligence (AI).
