Statements and Advisories

CAR Statements and White Papers

Position Statements are intended to inform physicians and other interested parties of the formal opinion of the CAR concerning critical issues in radiology, evolving areas of clinical practice, and/or technologies that are widely available or new to the practice community.

These statements are developed around topics that impact practice, are new or emerging, and for which a body of evidence or expert opinion is available. They are evidence-informed or consensus-based, but are more narrowly focused and more concise than guidelines.

Advisories

As the authoritative national voice of radiology, the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on issues that affect patient health as related to the practice of radiology.

As part of this commitment, the CAR develops advisories aimed at providing clarification on issues when there are varying points of view. Developed and updated by CAR working groups, and approved by the CAR's Board of Directors, these advisories contain background information and evidence-based support of the Association's stated position on various issues.

Use of thermography to screen for breast cancer

In September 2017, Health Canada issued a reminder that thermograms are not a substitute for mammograms for breast cancer screening. This is following its initial letter and advisory issued in 2012.
