COVID-19's Impact on Radiologic Research
Shutdowns and surges positively and negatively affecting research
April 27, 2023
In early 2020, research labs around the world swiftly shut down in the wake of a virus that had been declared a pandemic. As research resources were redirected toward understanding and ending the pandemic, radiologic researchers expressed concern that halting non-COVID-19 research indefinitely would put clinical imaging research behind by two to three years. The shut downs and surges have had unforeseen effects on research—for better and worse.
