About the RADx competition
Case competitions are widely recognized for strengthening academic programs through real-world, experiential learning.
For RadX, student teams will receive a detailed case study developed by Cleveland Clinic that focuses on a current challenge in radiology administration—such as AI adoption, productivity benchmarking, capital budgeting, dose management, staffing and workforce planning, or imaging workflow and operations. Teams will have two weeks to analyze the case, develop a solution, and create their presentation.
Submissions will be evaluated by industry experts from AHRA, Agfa Radiology Solutions, and Cleveland Clinic. The winning team will receive a cash prize, professional recognition, free AHRA student memberships, and additional opportunities for visibility and networking.
