Historically, women in radiology are underrepresented in radiology and face disproportionate barriers to career advancement related to work-life integration, gender bias, and relative lack of female role models. Given these challenges, women must be proactive and seek out mentorship and sponsorship to help navigate career obstacles and to guide career direction. At times of inflection, coaching can play a role in helping to clarify next steps through self-discovery of one's strengths, limitations, and desired goals. In this manuscript, we provide practical tips for women on how to successfully navigate mentorship, sponsorship and coaching during a career in radiology.

Gender disparity in radiology and its subspecialties presents a significant and persistent challenge, with only a small fraction of female Canadian medical students choosing radiology compared to their male counterparts. This disparity is further reflected in the professional landscape, where only 23% of practicing radiologists are women, predominantly concentrated in "women's imaging," which typically includes breast and gynecological imaging. This categorization not only perpetuates professional segregation by reinforcing gender stereotypes but also impacts patient care and research by suggesting that these areas are exclusively women's health issues. This paper explores the consequences of the "women's imaging" label and advocates for a reevaluation and renaming of subspecialties to more neutral, organspecific terms to encourage broader interest and participation. Furthermore, we propose strategies to enhance gender equity across all radiological subspecialties, including integrating radiology more thoroughly into medical education and promoting visible leadership roles for women.

Breastfeeding radiologists face challenges as they re-enter the workforce. Radiology employers can develop and implement a strategic plan to tangibly support breastfeeding radiologists through establishing lactation support infrastructure. This can be accomplished by implementing formal policies and procedures for lactation breaks, establishing lactation rooms that are clean, comfortable, and convenient to access, facilitating access to breast pumps for trainees, and building a comprehensive support system.

Purpose
To evaluate the representation of women as speakers at U.S. radiology annual scientific meetings (ASM).
Methods
This retrospective study analyzed speaker demographic data from the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) ASM between 2019 and 2022. Speaker gender was identified through publicly available profiles, and the percentage of female speakers was calculated for each year. Statistical significance of trends was determined using chi-squared tests, and linear regression analysis was employed to assess trends and to predict future representation.
Results
At the SIR ASM, female representation increased from 20.0 % (67 of 334 speakers) in 2019 to 26.5 % (90 of 340 speakers) in 2022. Chi-squared tests showed a statistically significant increase when adjusted for the percentage of female membership. At the ARRS ASM, female representation fluctuated, dropping from 36.6 % (104 of 284 speakers) in 2019 to 17.7 % (43 of 243 speakers) in 2020, then rising to 48.5 % (190 of 392 speakers) in 2022. A chi-squared test revealed significant variation in female representation across the years (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion
While both ASM showed an overall positive trend in female speaker representation, SIR demonstrated consistent increases, whereas ARRS exhibited significant fluctuations. Continued efforts in advocacy and targeted interventions are needed to sustain progress and address the gender gap in radiology.

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to understand the factors influencing a medical trainee's decision to pursue a career in Interventional Radiology (IR), and thereby to inform strategies to support the recruitment and retention of women in IR.
Materials and methods
Between April and August 2018, a 20-item survey was sent to all members of the Society of Interventional Radiology's Resident, Fellow, and Student section (SIR-RFS). Survey-weighted logistic regression models were constructed to quantify the association between key survey items and gender. Odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were computed to summarize each association. False-discovery rate adjusted p-values were computed to account for multiple comparisons.
Results
The survey had 567 respondents, corresponding to a 21% response rate. 51% of respondents were medical students, and 49% were radiology residents and fellows. Women comprised 26% of respondents. Women respondents were less likely to be interested in pursuing careers in IR (OR 1.73; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-2.75; p=0.021, pFDR=0.104). Factors that women cited as deterrents to pursuing a career in IR included a desire to become pregnant (OR 4.80; 95%CI: 3.27-7.05; p/pFDR<0.001), a concern for gender-related bias (OR 12.13; 95%CI: 8.01-18.38; p/pFDR <0.001), a concern for ethnicity-related bias (OR 2.07; 95%CI: 1.38-3.09; p<0.001, pFDR=0.004), a concern for sexual-orientation related bias (OR 1.75; 95%CI: 1.04-2.93, p=0.035, pFDR=0.123), and lack of opportunity for professional advancement (OR 0.56; 95%CI: 0.38-0.84); p=0.006; pFDR=0.039).
Conclusion
Women trainees are less interested in pursuing careers in IR, citing a desire to have kids and gender-related bias as leading deterrents. Implementing interventions that target these disincentives will help support the recruitment and retention of women in IR.

As the landscape of equity, diversity, and inclusion continues to evolve in radiology, women in radiology societies are playing a pivotal role in networking, communitybuilding, and mentorship. In Canada, Canadian Radiology Women (CRW) has developed from a social media initiative to a community of supportive female and nonbinary radiologists, sharing resources and providing mentorship to colleagues and trainees. This editorial describes the evolution of CRW and the impact on the Canadian radiology community over the past seven years.

Radiology Interest Groups (RIGs) in medical education are a catalyst for enhancing the appeal of the discipline and catapulting professional development of medical students. Despite the growing number of women amongst medical school graduates, a significant gender disparity persists in radiology, partly due to obstacles including limited exposure, lack of role models and mentors. This article evaluates the role of RIGs in bridging the gender gap and highlights the challenges women medical students face and proposes targeted initiatives to promote their participation in RIGs.

Recent studies showed that more than 50 % of Americans ages 18-49 turn to social media (SoMe) for health information, with one-third citing TikTok as their main source of health information, and that number is likely growing.1,2 Due to the large potential international reach at the push of a button, SoMe has the potential to be a powerful tool in healthcare and radiology and is changing the way radiologists educate, network, and disseminate information, for better or for worse. With the rise in SoMe, many Radiologists are stepping out of the darkroom and into the SoMe spotlight to network, educate, collaborate, advocate, combat misinformation, and reach a larger, younger audience. In this article, we will provide an overview of SoMe use in Radiology, pros and cons, things to consider before starting a professional SoMe account, lessons learned from our own popular Radiology SoMe platforms, and tips to anyone interested in starting.
最近的研究表明，超过50%的18-49岁美国人通过社交媒体（SoMe）获取健康信息，其中三分之一的人称TikTok是他们获取健康信息的主要来源，而且这一数字可能还在不断增长。1,2 由于按下按钮就有巨大的潜在国际影响力，SoMe有可能成为医疗保健和放射学领域的一个强大工具，并正在改变放射科医生的教育、网络和信息传播方式，无论好坏。随着 SoMe 的兴起，许多放射科医生正走出暗室，走进 SoMe 的聚光灯下，进行网络、教育、合作、宣传、打击错误信息，并接触到更多的年轻受众。在本文中，我们将概述 SoMe 在放射学中的应用、利弊、开设专业 SoMe 帐户前应考虑的事项、从我们自己的热门放射学 SoMe 平台中吸取的经验教训，以及给有兴趣开设 SoMe 帐户的人的建议。
