Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is a non-profit organization that represents 31 radiologic subspecialties from 145 countries around the world. We provide high-quality educational resources, including continuing education credits toward physicians’ certification maintenance, host the world’s largest radiology conference and publish five top peer-reviewed journals.

Arlene Sussman, MD, radiologist-medical director, mammography, at vRad, explains a telebreast imaging system that allows patients direct video consults with their remote radiologist just after their exams to increase personalized care and to answer questions immediately to avoid waiting for answers. She spoke on this technology in sessions at RSNA 2024.

Chinese radiology vendors dodge high tariffs with US-based factories

United Imaging and other manufacturers that have established American factories may remain insulated from the trade war.

Manisha Bahl, MD, breast imaging division quality director and breast imaging division co-service chief, Massachusetts General Hospital, and an associate professor of radiology, Harvard Medical School, explains the findings of a recent study she was involved in at RSNA 2024. She also offers insights into growing interest at sessions in using AI in breast imaging.

What radiologists think about using ChatGPT and AI in breast imaging

Manisha Bahl, MD, explained that ChatGPT and other large language models offer significant potential to help radiologists with breast imaging exams, but they are "not quite ready for primetime."

The new F-18 flurpiridaz radiotracer is expected to help drive cardiac PET growth, but it requires waiting between rest and stress scans. Software from MultiFunctional Imaging can help care teams combat that problem.

News of an incident is a stark reminder that healthcare workers and patients aren’t the only ones who need to be aware around MRI suites.

The ACR hopes these changes, including the addition of diagnostic performance feedback, will help reduce the number of patients with incidental nodules lost to follow-up each year.
