Every person will have experiences with medical imaging at some point in their lives. For most, the first time will be with an ultrasound before you are born. But how much do we know about this field and the professionals who are a part of our extended care team in healthcare?

Join us as we speak about Chaundria's journey in radiologic technology, the breadth of scope of these careers, and how medical imaging science communication empowers both practitioners and patients for better outcomes.
