Scanning the 2010 Games
Inside the fence reports from technologists and radiologists at the 2010 Games - An initiative of the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists and the Canadian Association of Radiologists

The use of medical imaging technologies has increased steadily at recent Olympic games, and the trend is expected to continue at the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in February. A team of 19 radiologists and 51 technologists has been assembled to image injured Olympians and interpret their scans. The team, led by Dr. Bruce Forster, the University of B.C. radiology professor and clinician who is the imaging manager for the 2010 Olympics, expects they will perform an estimated 900 diagnostic imaging exams on athletes and officials during the upcoming winter games.    Six members of the imaging team have agreed to share their experiences by regular postings to our new  Scanning the 2010 Games blog site.
