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)

Chest X-ray. Using an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model, researchers were recently able to accomplish highly accurate labeling on large datasets of publicly available chest radiograph X-rays.. 

New AI model calculates risk of heart attack or stroke using a single X-ray

“This type of screening could be used to identify individuals who would benefit from statin medication but are currently untreated," one specialist said. The full analysis will be presented at RSNA 2022 in Chicago.
