Cassling’s Most Popular Content of 2020

by Cassling on Jan 5, 2021

Jumping Into 2021The year 2020 is behind us (cue the collective sigh of relief), but even in such trying times, the resilience of healthcare workers around the country has been truly inspiring.

Not only were technologists, sonographers, radiologists and all manner of radiology professionals working tirelessly to ensure imaging was available to aid in the fight against COVID, but so many of you also found the time to expand your skills and knowledge, keeping up with the latest trends in support of yourself and patients.

As we looked back on some of the most popular content on our website in 2020, a few key trends stuck out. The following are what you, the Cassling audience, viewed and interacted with the most last year.

COVID Puts Crisis Planning Front and Center

It probably comes as no surprise that people thought about crisis planning in a whole new way in 2020, as the reality of a crisis went from from theoretical to practical almost overnight.

As such, some of our most popular content revolved around COVID; specifically, planning for future crises. That includes webinars, planning documents and a slew of resources focused on helping imaging professionals navigate COVID in 2020 and beyond.

Dr. Freel Brings the Heat

Even with all the concern surrounding COVID-19, those in the imaging field also recognized a need for their own professional development. And some of the most popular content came from Bellevue University’s Dr. Mike Freel, whose direction of the Cassling Leadership Institute drew both current and aspiring executives and managers to learn the latest best practices in organizational leadership.

Whether it was a podcast, a blog post, or a webinar, Dr. Freel’s insights were just the antidote that many needed in 2020.

An Interest in New Equipment Investment…In A Landscape Like No Other

Even with many hospitals forced to cancel or draw down elective procedures, radiology leaders recognized the need to continue investing in systems that can improve patient outcomes not just during this crisis, but in a future healthcare landscape that’s been dramatically changed by what we’ve all experienced this year.

Virtual Demos were a hit because of how they safely allowed radiology teams to get a socially distant yet still very informative look at innovative systems, while others who were at an earlier stage of their proposal process found value in an eBook highlighting how to get buy-in on a technological investment.

Office Based Labs (And The Technoloy Behind Them) Take the Spotlight

With many hospitals unavailable for elective procedures, and patients somewhat concerned about even visiting unless an operation was absolutely necessary, we saw a large increase in traffic to content centered around office-based labs. Information around these, as well as ambulatory surgery centers, was incredibly popular, with visitors learning about the technology necessary to power this rapidly growing sector of the imaging world.

CT Captures Attention…with Dual Source A Hot Topic

Although all sorts of imaging equipment saw increases in interest in 2020, nowhere was that more apparent than in pages related to CT systems. The mobile controls of the SOMATOM go family of systems sparked interest, but it was actually Dual Source CT that continued to draw the most attention from those curious about what this version of computed tomography can offer their facilities.
