Profile and Presence

InsideRadiology provides consumers
and health professionals with up-to-date
information on diagnostic imaging and
interventional radiology relevant to the
Australian and New Zealand healthcare
environments.
Over the last financial year, the
InsideRadiology team has:
• Amended the three information items
on contrast agents to bring them up
to date with the College’s recently
revised contrast media guidelines
• Reviewed and condensed the
Cardiac MRI information items into a
single comprehensive item
• Developed a new information
item covering the emerging breast
imaging technique of breast
tomosynthesis.
InsideRadiology is transitioning from its
status as a public resource funded by
the Australian Department of Health to
a fully integrated trans-Tasman College-
owned resource. As part of this process,
the website is being redesigned to align
it with other College resources.
Following feedback from the Profile of
a Clinical Radiologist Project, the scope
of the website will be expanded to
facilitate more advocacy for the role and
value of the clinical radiologist. It will
also host additional College resources
that are relevant to the general public.
The aim is for InsideRadiology to
become a consumer resource for
information about clinical radiology,
similar to the role that the Targeting
Cancer website plays for radiation
oncology.
InsideRadiology is looking to the
future with a five-year plan to update
information items, develop new content
as required and renew promotional
activities in the general practitioner
space.
The first stage of the plan was to
increase InsideRadiology’s presence in
New Zealand. Local Faculty of Clinical
Radiology Council Member, Dr Kate
O’Connor, gave up her weekend to
help raise the profile of InsideRadiology
and the College at the recent Royal
New Zealand College of General
Practitioners’ annual conference.
InsideRadiology was a welcome
addition to the exhibition hall where it
was promoted as a useful resource for
clinical radiology information for both
referrers and their patients.
