Editor's E-Note
In less than a week, many of us will be shaking off our Thanksgiving torpor and heading to RSNA (where I will significantly add to my calorie intake on Radiology Today's annual deep-dish pizza night). Aside from all of the great dining and cultural options in Chicago, the conference will have plenty of interesting educational sessions and technological exhibits to explore. This month's e-News Exclusive offers an overview of what to look for.
If you're at the show, please stop by and visit us at booth #3140 in the South Hall. We always enjoy hearing from our readers. You can also reach out to us on Twitter and/or Facebook.
Enjoy the newsletter and the conference, and from everyone at Radiology Today, Happy Thanksgiving!
— Dave Yeager, editor |

Sunday, November 27, sets the tone of this year’s meeting with sessions on AI, breast imaging, and prostate cancer theranostics. There are also sponsored sessions bolstering fascinating topics such as “The URM Trainee Experience — Resident, Fellow and Medical Student Perspective” (RSNA Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and “Artificial Intelligence in Radiology: Managing Professionalism Challenges” (RSNA Professionalism Committee).
This year, the President’s Address, “Diagnostic Imaging: Value From the Lens of the Patient,” will be delivered by Bruce Haffty, MD, followed by “Doctor as Patient: Imagining Cancer Survival for All,” presented by Elizabeth Morris, MD.
Monday, November 28, brings with it sessions on avoiding burnout, AI assistance with abdominal imaging, and Fast 5 presentations looking ahead to 2027 and the radiology advancements to follow. Of course, there are sponsored sessions as well, such as “Safety Net Hospitals, Health Disparities, and Unique Barriers to Care” (RSNA Committee on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and “Humanism in Radiology — Combatting Burnout and Robots” (RSNA Public Information Committee).

“Sixty percent of patients do not have lymph node metastases at initial diagnosis of breast cancer. As such, it would be desirable to be able to prove negative lymph node status by imaging with a high degree of certainty to spare these patients the invasive procedure of biopsy or surgery. … Incorporating this model into daily practice could potentially replace sentinel lymph node biopsy in the future."
— Janna Morawitz, MD, of the Institute for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, in an SNMMI press release regarding a machine learning tool that aids in lymph node cancer detection
