Abstract

As the landscape of equity, diversity, and inclusion continues to evolve in radiology, women in radiology societies are playing a pivotal role in networking, communitybuilding, and mentorship. In Canada, Canadian Radiology Women (CRW) has developed from a social media initiative to a community of supportive female and nonbinary radiologists, sharing resources and providing mentorship to colleagues and trainees. This editorial describes the evolution of CRW and the impact on the Canadian radiology community over the past seven years.
