Radiography Discussion Resources

Have you ever had a burning question about something radiography-related and didn't know where to turn?  You're not alone!  There are others like you who are interested in sharing ideas and providing information.  I have made many connections through discussion forums and websites that are strictly radiography-related, and it's important to have some resources to go to when you need some input, don't have answers to questions, or if you're willing to share your knowledge.  Here are some of the best discussion resources I have found on the web:

Aunt Minnie is a great site for anything from multi-modality news to job boards to discussion forums.  This is by far one of the largest sites with the widest range of contributors that I have come across.  If you're looking for research, a large number of technologists involved, or even CE credits, this is the place to start.

Wiki Radiography is growing, and already has many resources specific to radiography.  I like this one because you will always get a direct answer from a technologist.  There are techs from all over the world participating here including the U.S., U.K. and Australia.  Check out the many great articles and radiographic anatomy resources.

The Radiographer's Alliance is one that I have just recently browsed, but will become more involved in quickly.  With the welcoming description "the place where radiographers can really talk," I'm already feeling welcome.

                                                     

Radiopedia is another large site with literally tons of information.  You will find contributors from radiologists to every modality of imaging.  There are free lessons, tutorials, case studies, and articles posted here among the many discussion boards.  If you have a lot of brain space waiting to be occupied by radiology-specific info, start here!

Radiology Forums is a site that has recently been introduced to me... it's still growing, but I see a lot of promise here.  Any place that is willing to provide a safe environment for discussion is okay in my book.

If you are looking for answers not found on any of these resources, you can always check out Yahoo Answers.  You may run across some opinions that are rather ridiculous and misinformed, but every once in a while you'll strike gold.  I like it because those who are willing to answer questions with any integrity will provide a resource/link to support their answer.

Of course, I always like to hear from my readers and you can get involved here on my blog in the comments, or connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and even Pinterest.
