| Review Title: | Building Radiology Equity: Themes from the 2023 RAD-AID Conference on International Radiology and Global Health |
| Abstract: | Low- and middle-income countries are significantly impacted by the global scarcity of medical imaging services. Medical imaging is an essential component for diagnosis and guided treatment, which is needed to meet the current challenges of increasing chronic diseases and preparedness for acute-care response. We present some key themes essential for improving global health equity, which were discussed at the 2023 RAD-AID Conference on International Radiology and Global Health. They include (1) capacity building, (2) artificial intelligence, (3) community-based patient navigation, (4) organizational design for multidisciplinary global health strategy, (5) implementation science, and (6) innovation. Although not exhaustive, these themes should be considered influential as we guide and expand global health radiology programs in low- and middle-income countries in the coming years. © 2024 American College of Radiology |
