Patients are the primary focus of all radiologic care, which is highlighted through the RSNA Radiology Cares initiative, the ACR Commission on Patient- and Family-Centered Care and SBI’s End the Confusion program. ACR and RSNA jointly sponsor RadiologyInfo.org, an online consumer resource that explains medical imaging tests and treatments in detailed, easy-to-understand language, helping patients to understand and prepare for imaging procedures. Visit the International Day of Radiology website for information on related activities; the Mammography Saves Lives website also offers consumer breast cancer screening resources.
