title: RadiologyInfo: reaching out to touch patients.
abstract: RadiologyInfo is a public information Web site created and maintained as an unprecedented joint collaborative effort of the Radiological Society of North America and the American College of Radiology. Conceived in 1997 and operating since 2000, the site has grown to become a leading medical information site, currently with more than 100 radiologic examinations and treatments described. Each month, well over half a million visitors connect to RadiologyInfo (660,000 visits in March 2007). The information is now also available in Spanish and French. New procedures, current topics, and additional images are added on an ongoing basis.
