RSNA in Brief—Q4 2022

Radiology Celebrates Centennial
Editor Linda Moy, M.D., is celebrating the 100th anniversary of RSNA's flagship journal Radiology with 12 centennial issues. Each issue will highlight Radiology's legacy of publishing exceptional and practical science to improve patient care. Read the centennial issue editorial "Radiology 2040."

Dr. Moy assumed editorship of the journal this month, having previously served as senior deputy editor. She is the first woman to serve as Radiology Editor. Eight of the 10-member Editorial Board are women.

RadioGraphics Shines Light on Racial Disparities in Radiology
The latest issue of RSNA's journal RadioGraphics highlights the important topic of racial disparities and inequities in medical imaging. "How We Got Here: The Legacy of Anti-Black Discrimination," by Julia Goldberg, M.D., M.B.A., et al., and "From Unacceptable to Intolerable," an invited commentary by RSNA Board member Jinel A. Scott, M.D., M.B.A., discuss racial disparities in diagnostic imaging access as a consequence of longstanding structural racism in the U.S. and offer potential solutions to address barriers to care.

"Although acknowledging these historic events is painful and uncomfortable, to disregard them would be injurious to the specialty and directly harmful to Black physicians, radiologists and patients," Dr. Scott wrote.

New Funding Available for Emerging Issues Research
New funding is available, and applications are being accepted for RSNA Research and Education Foundation Emerging Issues grant opportunities. Aimed at rapidly and effectively addressing timely and urgent health crises, the grants support research in two areas of focus: interventions and solutions to health care disparities and the long-term effects of COVID-19.
