Keeping Up with Radiology Terminology Changes

As we all know, the field of radiology is constantly evolving, with new imaging techniques and terminology emerging regularly. It’s crucial for us transcription editors to stay updated on these changes to ensure our reports maintain accuracy and clarity. Has anyone taken any recent courses or read any materials that they found particularly helpful for staying on top of these updates?

And it really is like trying to keep up with fashion trends — one day it’s all about high-waisted pants, and the next it’s low-rise! I recently found a great online course by the Radiological Society that covers the latest terminology changes — it’s been super helpful, and they even have quizzes to test your knowledge.
