In the first of our ECR 2019 specials we bring you our interview with Dr Hedvig Hricak who is Chair of Radiology at the world renowned Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Centre (MSKCC) in New York, former RSNA President and ECR Gold medal winner and who was chairing ECR’s inaugural Women In Focus event this year. We discussed how the event came about, the current situation for women in radiology and some of the cutting edge medicine she oversees at MSKCC.
