Environmental Sustainability in Radiology
This presentation will explore the intersection of sustainability, climate change, and radiology, with a focus on the significance of this issue in our current practices, as well as steps we can take to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
By the end of this session, participants should be better able to:
- Describe the human health impacts of climate change
- Discuss radiology’s contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and waste
- Differentiate mitigation (reducing impacts) and adaption (building resiliency) strategies related to radiology
- Explore strategies to promote environmental sustainability in our departments with estimated impact
