Popis: Over the past 5 years, social media have had a profound impact on the way doctors, patients, organizations, and even governments interact. Social media are interfaces through which individuals can create and share real-time news and information with others. They can flatten hierarchies, break down geographical boundaries, and provide access to a global network of healthcare professionals.1 A recently published comprehensive analysis of social media in the NHS encourages healthcare workers to fully embrace the social media revolution and realize the benefits for staff, patients, and their families.2 This article will discuss the wealth of opportunities that social media offer radiologists and consider the guidelines that medical professionals should follow when embracing this communication revolution.
