🎀 Who reads your mammogram? A technologist takes the images. A radiologist is the doctor who interprets them, looking for subtle signs of breast cancer. In BC, eligible people can book screening from age 40 without a referral. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Breast screening in BC was built by radiologists. Dr. Paula Gordon and Dr. Linda Warren helped launch screening mammography here, and BC radiologists carry that work forward today. Finding cancer early starts with a screening mammogram. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth

Radiology reaches far beyond the reading room. Academic radiologists like Dr. Alison Harris train BC’s future radiologists, and nuclear medicine radiologists like Dr. James Curtis treat cancer and other diseases with radioactive medicines. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #Radiology

A successful BCRS Breast Biopsy MasterClass at UBC with BD! Radiologists, residents and technologists put their biopsy skills to the test, searching for a pimento inside an olive hidden in a chicken breast! Participant feedback: “10/10” and “Amazing!” #BreastImaging #BCRS #BD

It's a hands-on learning day at UBC! BCRS and BD are hosting our Breast Biopsy MasterClass, giving radiologists the chance to practise techniques and build skills. Thanks to Drs. Tanya Martin and Jennifer Dolden for sharing their expertise! #BCRS #BreastImaging #Radiology

CT or MRI? What’s the difference? 🩻 BC radiologist Dr. Emil Lee explains: CT uses X‑rays for fast cross‑sectional images. MRI uses magnets, no radiation, and is ideal for soft tissue like your ACL. Every scan is read by a radiologist. #WhatIsARadiologist #BCRS #Radiology

🩻 X-ray or Ultrasound? What's the difference? BC radiologist Dr. Emil Lee explains how these two imaging technologies work and why they're used for different purposes. Different tools, different insights, one goal: better patient care! #WhatIsARadiologist #BCRS #Radiology

Three words. One medical specialty. Plenty of opinions! We challenged BC's radiologists to describe their profession in just three words. Turns out, interpreting complex scans is easier than sticking to a word limit! 😂 Your turn! What three words would you choose? #BCRS

A scan is only one piece of the story. Radiologists combine medical imaging with a patient’s history, prior imaging and other clinical information to help arrive at the right diagnosis. The image is one piece. The radiologist puts the story together. #WhatIsARadiologist #BCRS

Radiology is a lot like detective work. 🔎 Radiologists look for subtle clues, connect findings with a patient’s clinical history, and use their medical expertise to help solve the diagnostic puzzle. Sometimes the smallest clue can make the biggest difference. #BCRS

Who's the doctor behind your scan? A radiologist: a physician with medical school, residency and specialty training, often 13+ years after high school. BC radiologists explain the training behind their work in our latest What Is a Radiologist? reel. #Radiology #WhatIsARadiologist

Registration (see bio) is open for the BC Breast Biopsy MasterClass at UBC on October 17. Hands-on training in core needle biopsy, vacuum assisted biopsy, vacuum assisted excision and tissue marker placement, plus a presentation from Dr. Tanya Martin on image guided VAE. Free

Every X-ray, CT and MRI you get is read by a radiologist. You might never meet them, but they turn your scans into answers your doctor can use to take better care of you. What is a radiologist? BC radiologists explain. #BCRS #Radiology #BCHealthcare

For Women in Medicine Month, we’re celebrating the women shaping radiology. Drs. Anvita Pauranik, Alison Harris and Lotus Yang share what makes radiology rewarding, the importance of women in the specialty & why the next generation should keep radiology on their radar. #BCRS

Meet the Radiologists Behind the Screen. You’ve probably had an X-ray, CT, MRI or ultrasound. But do you know the doctor behind it? Our What Is a Radiologist? campaign introduces the physicians interpreting imaging, guiding diagnoses and supporting patient care across BC. #BCRS

BCRS is launching What Is a Radiologist?, a new public awareness campaign highlighting the role radiologists play in healthcare. We spoke with 20+ radiologists across BC. First up: Dr. Vamshi Kotha on why radiology is central to diagnosis, treatment and patient care. #BCRS

BCRS recently brought interventional radiologists from across BC together for an IR Billing Workshop to compare practices, identify gaps in the fee guide & build greater consistency across the province. The work continues with a virtual meeting in October. Want to join? 🔗 in bio

Yesterday, BCRS leadership met with Assistant Deputy Minister Ian Rongve to discuss the sustainability of after-hours radiology services in BC, advocating for radiologists who provide this essential care. Quiet, consistent advocacy is what your BCRS membership supports.
