February 11 marks the UN’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a day that also honours the legacy of Marie Curie, whose groundbreaking work laid foundations for modern medical imaging. In radiology, this day recognises the vital contributions of women across the profession, from sonographers, radiographers and radiologists, who all play a critical role in advancing diagnostic imaging and patient care.
It also shines a light on the continued need to improve gender representation and equity within imaging and broader STEM fields. By celebrating achievements, challenging stereotypes and supporting equal access to education and career pathways, International Day of Women and Girls in Science helps inspire the next generation of women to pursue careers in radiology and medical science, strengthening the future of healthcare worldwide.
