Leonardo da Vinci is quoted as
saying, "Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing
is not enough; we must do." No one embodies this adage
better than medical professionals, whose knowledge is
judiciously incorporated into practice—improving the lives
of countless people with modern-day miracles.
The second annual Medical
Imaging Industry Top 10 honors the professionals and
facilities that put this principle into action. In response
to an e-mail survey and an online poll, more than 600
readers cast ballots to recognize their
hardworking colleagues in a range of categories:
- Radiology department within a
hospital
- Freestanding imaging
center or group
- Radiologist
- Technologist
- Radiation oncologist/cancer
researcher
- Nuclear physicist/nuclear
medicine researcher
- Cardiovascular imager/cardiac
catheterization lab director
- Women’s imaging specialist
- Imaging informaticist and
PACS/RIS administrator
- Association/trade show/CME
event/imaging-related educational program
Voters could select up to three of
the candidates listed or write in their own choices—which,
as with last year, was a popular option—to express their
opinions on who is leading the way in a number of
categories, including patient care and outcomes,
cutting-edge techniques, industry interaction, attitude,
problem-solving abilities, and imaging techniques and
research.
Congratulations to everyone on the
list, and thanks to all of the readers who put them there!
