She had been a technologist for a year or two but was destined for management early on. I’m going to date myself (and her), but our conversation had...

You may have noticed that we’ve gone a little ultrasound-crazy here at Cassling. It’s not until October that we celebrate Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month, or as we’ve taken to calling it, #MUAM (my social media team tells me I have to use the hashtag or it doesn’t count). School is barely back in session, but we wanted...

My late father, Bob Cassling, loved this time of year. He always made Thanksgiving a special day at home with our family—eating turkey and watching Husker football with my two brothers and me—but he also loved packing up to head to Chicago’s McMormick Place for the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North...
