Women radiologists remain in minority, unchanged for the past several decades. In 1981, the American Association for Women Radiologists (AAWR) was founded to address the problems that women radiologists were experiencing in being subordinate to male radiologists in the workplace and at the national level in organizations with respect to political power and financial compensation, as well as additional issues unique to women in radiology. The AAWR defined goals to meet the needs of women in radiology: improve the visibility of women radiologists, advance the professional and academic standing of women in radiology, and identify and address issues faced by women in radiology. AAWR efforts have included providing opportunities for career development and award recognition, hosting educational programs at national meetings, and publishing numerous manuscripts on issues faced by women in radiology. The AAWR recognizes that although there has been significant progress in the standing of women in radiology over the past 35 years, there is much room for improvement. The AAWR will continue to advocate for the needs of women in radiology.
女性放射科医生仍然占少数，在过去几十年中这一情况没有改变。1981年，美国女性放射科医生协会（AAWR）成立，以解决女性放射科医生在工作场所中从属于男性放射科医生的问题，以及在国家层面的组织中在政治权力和经济补偿方面所面临的问题，还有放射科女性特有的其他问题。AAWR确定了满足放射科女性需求的目标：提高女性放射科医生的知名度，提升女性在放射学领域的专业和学术地位，识别并解决放射科女性面临的问题。AAWR的工作包括提供职业发展机会和奖励认可，在全国会议上举办教育项目，以及发表大量关于放射科女性所面临问题的手稿。AAWR认识到，尽管在过去35年里女性在放射学领域的地位有了显著进步，但仍有很大的改进空间。AAWR将继续倡导满足放射科女性的需求。
