What Most People Get Wrong About Radiology

Radiologists are often thought of as physicians who spend their days reading scans in a dark room. But as Elias Kikano, MD, Division Director of Imaging Informatics at Emory University explains in this video, the reality is much different.

Radiologists regularly interact with patients, perform image-guided procedures, collaborate with care teams and make high-stakes decisions that directly impact patient outcomes. At the same time, they're managing growing imaging volumes, increasingly complex cases and constant pressure to deliver fast, accurate diagnoses.

Understanding the demands of modern radiology helps highlight the critical role radiologists play, not just behind the scenes but at the center of patient care.
