Dr. Erik Ranschaert, a radiologist working in the Netherlands, is polling radiologists in the U.S. and Europe about their use of social media.
The board member of the European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics (EuSoMII) has created an online survey to identify differences in U.S. and European radiologists' behaviors and attitudes toward social media.
Ranschaert has received support from the American College of Radiology (ACR), and he plans to publish the results in a peer-reviewed journal. Radiologists can participate in the survey by clicking here.

The CT image is shown in the axial plane. The PMV is automatically extracted using the developed deep learning model and overlayed onto the lungs for visual clarity.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/03/genkin.25LqljVF0y.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&crop=focalpoint&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
