Radiology has always stood at the crossroads of technological advancement and patient care, and this has never been truer than the present time. As we step into a new era marked by rapid innovations in imaging technology including artificial intelligence, effective leadership in radiology is more important than ever before. Navigating complex health care systems requires agility, empathy, and resilience. The modern leader in radiology today must embrace the changing needs of the modern workforce and advocate for policies that enhance accessibility within the field.

Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer death in women, yet LC screening (LCS) rates remain low. Identifying LCS eligible women who are undergoing screening mammography has been shown to increase LCS in this population. We aim to evaluate the proximity of mammography facilities to LCS facilities to further leverage screening mammography (SM) on a national level to increase LCS uptake among women.
