%X If we carefully think about "management", there is little space in our life far from its influence.

In an interesting general model, there are four categories for management levels: managing yourself, managing people, managing the organization and finally, managing the society. So we need management as a scientific key for dealing with challenges in every category Challenges facing the medical imaging industry are numerous, such as handling daily changing technologies, managing resources (human and financial) for providing high competitive cost-effective consumer-satisfying services, quality improvement and many other obstacles. How can we be sure about the best practice, medical safety, correct investments, cost-saving and other similar topics in our settings?

This presentation focuses on defining the realm of management in radiology from the health administration specialist point of view.
