Happy Holidays. As we wind down the year, I'd like to thank everyone for an extremely successful 2015.
This issue of RadNews continues to highlight the many accomplishments of our department, including: UMass presentations at numerous RSNA lectures, posters and courses; international education and teaching efforts; publications; commitment to quality, safety and process improvement; and most of all our commitment to our community of central Massachusetts.
Looking forward to celebrating with everyone at our holiday lunches this week.
Best,
Max
