The fact that German sociologists rarely appear in the radiology literature by no
means proves that they have no place in it. In fact, invoking their perspectives can
clarify and deepen our appreciation for structures and forces at work in our field
that many of us fail not only to understand but also to recognize. One of the best
examples is the venerable distinction between Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. The former is often translated as community and the latter as society, and these
are the terms I will adopt here. We can clarify and better respond to puzzling features
of contemporary radiology if we view them through the lenses of these concepts.
