Addressing Sexual Harassment in Radiology

Sexual harassment -- while it historically has mainly affected women -- can affect anyone in radiology. It creates uncomfortable work environment, stress, and, sometimes, it can negatively impact career paths.

The most important thing, according to Anastasia Hryhorczuk, M.D., assistant clinical professor of radiology at Michigan Medicine, is to acknowledge the problem, create pathways for reporting, and bring more women into leadership. She shared her insights during this year's Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting.

Diagnostic Imaging spoke with Hryhorczuk about the specifics of what providers can do and what stumbling blocks exist to reaching this goal.
