Psst... There is no "energy emergency" in the United States. What we have is a climate emergency.

Last publication before the new year! Excess imaging attributed to outdoor heat and air pollution in Canada generates GHG emissions equivalent to >38 tons of coal burned ➡️ highlighting the interconnected relationship between radiology and the planet #RadSky 🌎🩻 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Wonderful to see so much engagement on environmental sustainability at #RSNA24 and beyond! Grateful for the leadership role that RSNA and other radiology societies have taken in charting the course for meaningful change 🙌🏻 @rsnasky.bsky.social @reedomary.bsky.social @sustainablerad.bsky.social

Don’t miss these fantastic #RSNA24 Day 2 presenters! @rsnasky.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social @reedomary.bsky.social @brucebforster123.bsky.social @lindaprobyn.bsky.social @sustainablerad.bsky.social @nickburris.bsky.social @laurengroner.bsky.social @asset25.bsky.social

The BIG problem is because of massive car manufacturing influence, most media and political energy is going to EVs, with not NEARLY enough going to fewer cars and less driving. But the priority HAS to be the latter, since it’s the part of the solution that will actually do much more public good.

Always a blast at the @caradiologists.bsky.social #RSNA24 reception 🇨🇦 🥳 @lindaprobyn.bsky.social @brucebforster123.bsky.social @elsieradiology.bsky.social @aniakielar.bsky.social @emilleemd.bsky.social @felipetorres.bsky.social @imagingtoronto.bsky.social @uoftmedicalimaging.bsky.social #RadSKy

Incredibly proud of @uoftmedicalimaging.bsky.social @imagingtoronto.bsky.social fellow Dr. DuPlessis for a fantastic #RSNA24 cutting edge science presentation highlighting the role of #radiology to understand climate related environmental health effects ☺️ #RadSky #MedSky @sustainablerad.bsky.social

Fantastic #RSNA24 session on growing green radiology, from building teams, to establishing industry collaborations and the important role of advocacy 🙌🏻 #RadSky @rsnasky.bsky.social @sustainablerad.bsky.social @emilleemd.bsky.social

Only 2 sleeps to #RSNA24! Don't miss these #sustainability sessions 🌎🤗 Growing Green #Radiology Sun Dec 1 2:30 E352 Planetary Health Mon Dec 2 9:30 S501 Discovery Theatre Wed Dec 4 9:45 #RadSky @rsnasky.bsky.social @sustainablerad.bsky.social @drgmcginty.bsky.social @andyszavakovats.bsky.social

Happy to share our latest research on environmentally sustainable radiology @rsnasky.bsky.social 🌎🩻 doi.org/10.1148/radi... We found that short-term exposures to higher ambient temperature and worse PM2.5 air pollution are associated with increased medical imaging utilization

As a radiologist, I'm passionate about promoting environmental sustainability in our field. 🌿🩻 Simple measures like powering down CT scanners and reducing waste from single-use devices can make a significant impact. 🔌 ♻️ Ongoing innovations, such as abbreviated MRI protocols, also shows promise. ⏱️

As physicians and environmental health scientists, we are calling for a new environmental assessment before a BC LNG project proceeds, write Margaret McGregor, @drmelissalem.bsky.social & Tim Takaro www.nationalobserver.com/2024/11/22/o...

From the many eloquent speakers, to letters, calls and meetings with Councillors, this was a shining example of successful intersectoral collaboration for #climateaction. Thank you Councillors Carr, @ptfry.bsky.social, Bligh, @lisadominato.bsky.social and Meiszner Grateful for your leadership. /2.

"Vancouver has demonstrated that it cares about its residents’ health, and that mitigating carbon and air pollution take priority over the short-term interests of a sunsetting industry." Science, health and our kids' futures won over the polluting gas industry today! /1 cape.ca/press_releas...

Friends! Mobilization works! We just defeated the effort to re-allow gas in new building in Vancouver!! Gas industry did all it could to bring fossil heating back for new homes. Tonight, they failed 🎉🎉 Special 🙏 2 Councillors Carr, Fry, @lisadominato.bsky.social, @petermeiszner.bsky.social & Bligh

Big win for climate action in Vancouver tonight! 🌍 Huge thanks to Councillors @petermeiszner.bsky.social, @lisadominato.bsky.social, @ptfry.bsky.social, Rebecca Bligh, & Adrienne Carr for voting their conscience & standing up for a sustainable future. Your leadership will make a lasting impact. 🙌

Today almost 150 health professionals wrote to Mayor Sim and Vancouver City Council urging them to uphold the city’s bylaw requiring clean electric heating in new homes. We call on you to make the right choice for a #healthyfuture on November 26. Read: drive.google.com/file/d/19HFN...

This is bad. We simply can’t go on as we have been. We need bold action to address the climate crisis and as physicians we can start with the delivery of health care 🌎 @andyszavakovats.bsky.social @sustainablerad.bsky.social

Week before #RSNA24 - excited anticipation with a sprinkle of chaotic energy 😆 Can’t wait to see everyone! @asset25.bsky.social @laurengroner.bsky.social @sustainablerad.bsky.social @aniakielar.bsky.social @rasushrestha.bsky.social @erin-schwartz-md.bsky.social @rsnasky.bsky.social

Thank you! Agree on the need for more research, action and discussion 🙌 @sustainablerad.bsky.social @aniakielar.bsky.social

This study was a tremendous amount of work and we couldn't have done it without the entire incredible team! doi.org/10.1148/radi... @sustainablerad.bsky.social @aniakielar.bsky.social @uoft.bsky.social @harvardchanschool.bsky.social
