Radiology Associations

Professional radiology organizations connect imaging professionals across the world, and advocate for radiology policies, regulations, educational updates and technology advancements. These societies include ACR, ASRT, SIIM, RSNA, SNMMI, and many other imaging groups. Find specific news pages for each society at these links: American College of Radiology (ACR)Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS)American Society Radiologic Technologists (ASRT)Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA)Radiology Business Management Association (RBMA)Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM)Society of Breast Imaging (SBI), and the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR)

Mahadevappa Mahesh, PhD, professor of radiology and a medical physicist at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, explains a new American College of Radiology (ACR) effort to ensure that lower radiation dose X-ray images under Image Wisely and As Low as Reasonable Achievable (ALARA) meet diagnostic reading standards. He spoke to Radiology Business at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 meeting.
