Thank you Dr. Kristin Beinschroth for traveling from California to be part of the ISSRT Annual Conference. Her session on forensic imaging highlighted a unique and impactful side of radiography, showing how imaging can contribute in meaningful ways beyond the traditional clinical setting.

We always appreciate the chance to connect with and support fellow affiliates. Working together across states helps grow our profession and share ideas that benefit everyone.

Dean Brake’s presentation on collimation highlighted how proper beam restriction supports patient safety, image quality, and professional standards in everyday imaging practice.

We were grateful to have Dean Brake join us from Missouri for this year’s ISSRT Annual Conference. Her presentation on collimation served as an excellent reminder that small adjustments can make a meaningful impact on image quality and patient dose.
