Radiographic Shielding: Yes, No….Maybe?
The recently proposed changes to shielding practices during radiography will be discussed. We will outline the latest empirical research on shielding efficacy for radiation protection while comparing and contrasting the position
statements on radiographic shielding by major industry organizations. Last, we will take a look at the future of radiographic shielding in consideration of ongoing changes in the science of radiation protection and radiobiology.

I AEC
We will explore how Automatic Exposure Controls (AEC) are designed to function on diagnostic imaging systems. Best practices and limitations of using AEC, not to use the AEC, mistakes you want to avoid when using the AEC, and quality
control requirements for AEC will also be discussed.

Global Health Disparity: How Radiographers Can Help
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that two-thirds of the world’s population has little or no access to radiology services. Radiology is a part of nearly every segment of health care, making the absence of radiology a critical piece
of global health disparity. These communities and populations have historically suffered disproportionate mortality and morbidity across a range of conditions due to barriers in accessing health care. Technologists and therapists are a vital part
of the solution. To address this worldwide problem, international societies, foundations and individuals are collaborating on initiatives designed to give medical imaging professionals the opportunity to contribute to the health care needs of the low-resource regions. We’ll explore how you can learn about other cultures and health care systems, use your talents for
improving global health and form lasting relationships with your peers around the world.

Radiologic Imaging In Transgender Patients
This lecture will discuss the potential bariers to care for transgender patients along with specific changes to radiologic care for transmen and transwomen individually. An overview of vocabulary including steps and procedures patients might take to
maculinize or feminize their body. Screening recommendations for radiologic procedures will also be discussed.

“Bone Health” The Radiological Technologist’s Role
In this lecture we will discuss bone health and remodeling including the nutrients needed for proper bone health. Osteoporosis and the consequences it brings will also be discussed. Lastly, imaging modalities will be explored that can best
show different bone pathologies.
Associate Dean, Graduate Taught Studies / Associate Professor, University College Dublin
Patient Safety In Medical Imaging: Challenges and Opportunities
Patient safety is a major priority for all healthcare professions and is broadly defined as ‘the prevention of harm to patients’.Embedding the theme of patient safety in curricula has the potential to improve patient safety. Radiographers encounter
numerous patient safety issues which stretch far beyond the area of radiation protection. The responsibilities of radiographers and radiologists overlap substantially across most areas; thus team-work within the medical imaging environment is key to ensuring a safe environment for our patients. This presentation will explore the breadth of patient safety issues which
radiographers may encounter on a daily basis and will explore the current status of patient safety-related content in undergraduate radiography curricula across Europe.

Where Have All the Technique Charts Gone?
Even in the digital world, the standard principles of exposure and radiation protection still apply. Current exposure charts are still a MUST to ensure consistent image quality and radiation dose reduction. Additionally, rationales for differences in axial
projections of the knee will be presented to include Hughston vs. Merchant views.
Director of Human Centered Care for Hartford Healthcare
Effective Care and Communication During Covid-19
This lecture will present a look at the impact communication makes on the patient experience in healthcare. Effective communication with face masks and other personal protective equipment including the provision of safe care will be
discussed. Lastly, communicating the elements of safe care during COVID-19 will be explored to ensure patients know that they are safe when receiving care.

GAIL PITKIN MEMORIAL LECTURER AWARD
This is a confidential award given in memoriam for John Archer who died suddenly of a heart attack in 1989. He was dedicat-ed to elevating the radiologic technologist within the state. His hearty laugh originated from his toes up; along with his radio-
logic efforts. He was a former President of the CSRT and very active legislative member for Connecticut X-ray Safety Law.
Criteria is as follows:1. CSRT member who has contributed outstanding continued service to the Society for at least 10 years.
2. Recipient should demonstrate active participation as a member of a standing committee, committee chairman or have held office in the society and whose effort produced an impact on the society.
3. Recipient must present himself/herself as a professional by carrying forth the goals and ideals of the society throughout their actions and their work environment.
4. Nominations must be submitted to the awards chairman for the candidates to be considered by the awards committee.6. The awards committee will submit name/names of the eligible candidate(s) for the John Archer Award with their recom-
mendation to the Executive Board for approval.
Only one candidate will be awarded and this award does not have to be given annually. This award is presented to an exem-plary CSRT member in recognition for outstanding service and commitment to the Society. This worthy individual must be a CSRT member for at least ten years, have actively participated on a standing committee or as committee chairperson and have served on the Executive Board. In addition, the candidate must have also produced a significant impact on the profes-sion of Radiologic Technology; exhibited positive goals; upheld the ideals of the Society; and attained a level of respect and
confidence from members of the profession.
