A Lens on the Post-COVID-19 "New Normal" for Imaging Departments

Geoffrey M Currie. J Med Imaging Radiat Sci. 2020 Sep.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has redefined the diagnostic imaging that is being practiced. It is important to consider how COVID-19 will reshape the practice in the post-COVID era. The "new normal" should reflect what has been learned from COVID-19 and preparedness for the future.

Keywords: COVID-19; Radiography; new normal; nuclear medicine.
