CAR President Dr. Gilles Soulez Shares Highlights from This Past Year

The last two years have been challenging for the radiology community. The pandemic had a dramatic impact on healthcare delivery and changed the way radiologists practice. It also exacerbated the extensive wait times experienced by patients for medical imaging. Even with procedures returning to full capacity, pandemic protocols, while necessary, have added to the time it takes to complete medical imaging tests. Read More

“Presidency of the SRQ was among the best professional experiences I have ever had, and I am most grateful for having been chosen to assume that responsibility,” says Dr. Bruno Morin.

Healthcare providers have an ethical, professional, and legal obligation to disclose to patient harm that arises from healthcare delivery. In cases where pathological analysis or diagnostic imaging have been misinterpreted, it may be appropriate for the pathologist or radiologist to participate in the disclosure process. Participating in discussions with patients is often complicated by the fact that pathologists and radiologists typically do not have direct interaction with patients. Read More

Having lasted for several months, the world is keenly aware of the impact that the military conflict with Russia has had on Ukraine. Among the many losses to social structures and life sustaining systems in Ukraine, the conflict has affected the ability for radiologists and medical professionals to maintain their Continuing Professional Development (CPD), especially as it applies to emergency and trauma imaging. Aiming to provide aid to these professionals as the situation continues, the Canadian Emergency, Trauma, and Acute Care Radiology Society (CETARS) has set up a series of educational webinars focusing on all aspects of emergency and trauma care imaging, using a head-to-toe approach.

The Screening team at the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (the Partnership) supports developing cancer screening initiatives in collaboration with a broad range of partners to improve quality and equity of screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer in Canada. One of their main initiatives, the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control, is to strengthen existing screening efforts and implement lung cancer screening programs across Canada. That is where the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR), with its successful history of a Mammography Accreditation Program became involved. The CAR and CSTR are excited to announce the launch of the first program in the CAR’s QUEST curriculum: Introduction to Lung Cancer Screening. Read More
