What You Need to Know Before Your First RSNA
Tips on preparing for RSNA.
The other day, I overheard a conversation between two residents:Resident 1: "I got approved to go to RSNA this year."Resident 2: "Great news. I love the RSNA meeting. It's going to be tough to top last year though."Resident 1: "This is actually my first time ever going, even though I'm a fourth year."Resident 2: "RSNA is unlike any other conference you've been to. You have no idea what you're getting yourself in for."While the experience at RSNA means something different to each of the 50,000+ attendees, there is one common thread among all attendees. Whether you are a practicing radiologist, trainee, exhibitor, American, or foreigner, RSNA is, in fact, unlike any other conference you've been to before, unless you happen to attend the Federation of International Medical Equipment Suppliers Meeting, or the Greater New York Dental Meeting, which are the only other conferences that draw greater than 50,000 attendees, according to the Healthcare Convention and Exhibitors Association.I've asked some of my acquaintances that I reconnect with every year at RSNA to share what they wish they knew before they attended their first RSNA meeting as a way to help those trainees who will be attending their first meeting. Feel free to reminisce about your first RSNA experience and share your own thoughts in the comments section below.
AI Facilitates Nearly 83 Percent Improvement in Turnaround Time for Fracture X-Rays
December 19th 2023In addition to offering a 98.5 percent sensitivity rate in diagnosing fractures on X-ray, an emerging artificial intelligence (AI) software reportedly helped reduce mean turnaround time on X-ray fracture diagnosis from 48 hours to 8.3 hours, according to new research presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
The Reading Room: Artificial Intelligence: What RSNA 2020 Offered, and What 2021 Could Bring

Can an Emerging PET Radiotracer Enhance Detection of Prostate Cancer Recurrence?
December 14th 2023The use of 68Ga-RM2 PET/MRI demonstrated a 35 percent higher sensitivity rate than MRI alone for the diagnosis of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer, according to research recently presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
RSNA 2020: Addressing Healthcare Disparities and Access to Care
December 4th 2020Rich Heller, M.D., with Radiology Partners, and Lucy Spalluto, M.D., with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, discuss the highlights of their RSNA 2020 session on health disparities, focusing on the underlying factors and challenges radiologists face to providing greater access to care.
Can AI Improve Detection of Extraprostatic Extension on MRI?
December 4th 2023Utilizing a deep learning-based AI algorithm to differentiate between diagnostic and non-diagnostic quality of prostate MRI facilitated a 10 percent higher specificity rate for diagnosing extraprostatic extension on multiparametric MRI, according to research presented at the recent RSNA conference.
Study: Regular Mammography Screening Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality Risk by More than 70 Percent
November 30th 2023Consistent adherence to the five most recent mammography screenings prior to a breast cancer diagnosis reduced breast cancer death risk by 72 percent in comparison to women who did not have the mammography screening, according to new research findings presented at the annual Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference.
