This October, the Mayo Clinic Rochester RAD-AID Chapter sent a team of professionals to Kumasi, Ghana, to participate in the second annual Global Bridges Oncology Nursing Seminar/Clinical Oncology Training Center (COTC) 2025 Professional Conference.

“The program featured a diverse lineup of expert speakers and presenters from both the United States and Ghana, fostering a meaningful exchange of clinical and technical expertise. Attendees represented multiple oncology centers throughout Ghana, contributing to a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment.

Following the conference, our team conducted on-site clinical observations to gain a deeper understanding of workflow processes, patient care delivery, and equipment utilization within the clinical setting.

The final day of the program featured a city-wide breast cancer awareness walk, which included complimentary breast screenings for women, emphasizing community engagement and early detection initiatives.”

RAD-AID is pleased to share the recent publication of our 3rd edition of Radiology in Global Health, which outlines concepts for expanding radiology and radiation oncology capabilities in low-resource communities. We incorporate the newly updated textbook content into our online courses and volunteer-preparations before, during, and after outreach trips for impactful programs.

Online and print copies are available, and may also be accessible at institutions and libraries with Springer licenses.

🌍 Beekley is proud to work with RAD-AID International in support of their mission to expand access to breast imaging and early detection around the world.

RAD-AID International has just established a new mammography program in Port Vila, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific, bringing vital screening services to women who previously had limited access to breast cancer detection.

This initiative is part of RAD-AID’s ongoing work to improve breast health in underserved regions by providing education, equipment, and sustainable imaging programs. Learn more about their impact here: rad-aid.org/programs/breast-imaging

We’re honored to support their breast imaging mission and help make quality healthcare more accessible worldwide. 💗

may be over, but RAD-AID is continuing the celebration all year!

In October, RAD-AID Volunteer and CT/MRI Radiographer from the UK, Grace Bird, traveled to Laos to work with hospital staff on-site at Lao Friends Hospital for Children (LFHC).

Grace initiated the start of the RAD-AID CT Training Modules with the radiographers on-site. She also observed CT workflows from request to the uploading of images. Grace helped to identify challenges and implement standardized protocols to ensure the safety of the patient and hospital staff.

CT helpsheets were also created and stored on radiology desktops explaining key aspects of CT (contrast delay, dose modulation, MPR reconstruction, step-by-step CT guide).

RAD-AID thanks our incredible volunteers who are dedicated to increasing access to radiology services in .

This year, RAD-AID volunteers Keisha McCall and Tiffany Smisson traveled to to provide and support at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and Sweden Ghana Medical Centre, both located in the country’s capital of Accra.

Milestones included a case conference presentation given to all Y1 and Y2 radiology residents at both sites on traumatic spina injuries (CT and MRI cases were presented). Hands-on training and in-person lectures were given to medical physicists and technologists at both KBTH and SGMC. At SGMC, Hands-on training was provided to medical physicists on the setup, data acquisition and processing for PET testing.

RAD-AID is so thankful for this collaboration to broaden Nuclear Medicine and Medical Physics education in low-resource regions. Together, we are working to improve patient care by providing hands-on training and in-person lectures to our partner hospitals, supported by online presentations and interactive education.

In September 2025, RAD-AID Medical Physics Volunteer, Benjamin Musall, traveled to Botswana to work with hospital staff on QC training and adaptation of standardized protocols.

Read more about Benjamin’s experience:

“The purpose of my visit was to educate radiology-specialized medical physicists as well as radiographers who would support QC efforts in areas lacking physics support. I split my time between two hospitals: Sir Ketumile Masire Teaching Hospital (SKMTH) and Nyangabgwe Referral Hospital.

I provided hands-on training on quality control of radiology equipment for a cohort of radiology staff. The physicists (7+ people) included the hospital physicists at SKMTH as well as regulators working for the Botswanan government. In addition, many radiographers (~30 people) came to our practicum from a variety of nearby clinics.

Medical physics is rapidly modernizing in Botswana and RAD-AID physics support continues to accelerate this development. I believe that my visit served well in these efforts and also grew the relationship between RAD-AID and the Botswanan physicists. We will continue this effort in future work that we have planned.”

RAD-AID thanks our incredible volunteers and partners on-site in Botswana! We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting the strengthening of medical physics in Botswana.

Bring Radiology to Those in Need

Half the world has no access to radiology. That means no ultrasound for helping babies and mothers; no mammography for breast cancer screening; no x-ray for trauma victims; no CT for cancer staging and surgical planning; no MRI for brain and spine disease; no angiography for heart disease, and the list goes on and on. Radiology is the technological backbone of advanced health care systems for delivering screening, diagnosis, and treatment to patients, but it is the missing hole in the health care systems of developing countries and low-resource areas. RAD-AID started 10 years ago with a simple mission: increase and improve radiology for medically underserved areas. We have grown to be over 9000 volunteers serving in 53 hospitals and 27 countries, and we hope to continue our mission and growth. We bring radiology equipment, training, and sustainable support to hospitals that need radiology for taking care of their patients. We work shoulder-to-shoulder and hands-on with health workers all over the world to bring radiology and medical images to the patient’s bedside. Each RAD-AID program is uniquely tailored to the needs and resources of a hospital and community through our specialized and trademarked Radiology-Readiness Assessment, which is an in-depth data-collection and analysis step for first understanding what radiology solution can make the best impact for a low-resource medical facility. So, our programs are diverse to create those unique solutions based on a data-driven, heart-filled, and perseverant method, which include a mobile women’s health in India, information technology deployment in Ghana, a new radiology residency in Guyana, inter-institutional training of doctors in Tanzania, a new ultrasound for children in Laos, rural ultrasound in Appalachian Virginia, mobile mammography in mid-Atlantic USA, x-ray radiography teaching in Malawi, and MRI support in Ethiopia, as a few examples. RAD-AID believes in creating a creating a special mix of charitable outreach, teaching, and innovation that not only brings greater global health but also brings the world closer together.
