The health care sector is a resource-intensive industry, consuming significant amounts of water and energy, and producing a multitude of waste. Health care providers are increasingly implementing strategies to reduce energy use and waste. Little is currently known about existing sustainability strategies and how they may be supported by radiology practices. Here, we review concepts and ideas that minimize energy use and waste, and that can be supported or implemented by radiologists.
