Leadership, education and innovation – for more than a century, these have been the pillars of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). So it’s fitting the society has brought them together in such a powerful way for its 104th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting with the theme “Tomorrow’s Radiology Today.”
The Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting is scheduled for November 25-30 at McCormick Place in Chicago. RSNA invites radiology professionals to experience the hands-on, cutting-edge technology of artificial intelligence, 3D printing and virtual reality at this year’s event. Attendees can delve into the latest research and enhance their skills with a course program packed with plenary sessions and over 400 top-level educational courses.
“Tomorrow’s Radiology Today encapsulates RSNA’s commitment to keep you at the forefront of a rapidly changing technological landscape. Explore how radiologists are harnessing advanced technology and techniques in their clinical radiology practices right now to improve patient care and outcomes. By convening the top minds in radiology, RSNA 2018 provides the best educational opportunities anywhere, while also providing valuable insight on where the profession is heading and what that direction means for you and for patient care,” according to the RSNA.
The Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting is an opportunity for professional growth and leadership. Radiology professionals are invited to:
- Enhance skills with a course program packed with plenary sessions and more than 430 top-level educational courses.
- Explore technical exhibit halls, where nearly 700 leading medical technology manufacturers, suppliers and developers converge to demonstrate cutting-edge advancements.
- Delve into the latest research through interaction with breakthrough technologies like artificial intelligence, 3D printing and virtual reality, all rapidly changing how radiology is practiced.
- Network with others equally passionate about the field.
A RSNA brochure lists even more opportunities including one of the meeting’s most popular destinations, the RSNA Technical Exhibit. Halls comprise one of the largest medical exhibitions in the world. Leading manufacturers, suppliers and medical technology developers will demonstrate the latest advancements in medical imaging and discuss the radiology products and services needed to enhance operations and improve patient care. Attendees can explore the latest innovations and take in a presentation in the Machine Learning Showcase, focusing on artificial intelligence, and the 3D Printing and Advanced Visualization Showcase, highlighting emerging radiology tech like virtual reality.
