Social media, which can be defined as dynamic and interactive online
communication forums, are becoming increasingly popular, not only for the general
public but also for radiologists. In addition to assisting radiologists in
finding useful profession-related information and interactive educational
material in all kinds of formats, they can also contribute towards improving
communication with peers, clinicians, and patients. The growing use of social
networking in healthcare also has an impact on the visibility and engagement of
radiologists in the online virtual community. Although many radiologists are
already using social media, a large number of our colleagues are still unaware of
the wide spectrum of useful information and interaction available via social
media and of the added value these platforms can bring to daily practice. For
many, the risk of mixing professional and private data by using social media
creates a feeling of insecurity, which still keeps radiologists from using them.
In this overview we aim to provide information on the potential benefits,
challenges, and inherent risks of social media for radiologists. We will provide
a summary of the different types of social media that can be of value for
radiologists, including useful tips on how to use them safely and efficiently.
MAIN MESSAGES: ? Online social networking enhances communication and
collaboration between peers ? Social media facilitate access to educational and
scientific information ? Recommendations and guidelines from policymakers and
professional organisations are needed ? Applications are desired for efficient
and secure exchange of medical images in social media.
