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).

Kimberly Powell, vice president, general manager of healthcare at NVIDIA, explains how artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly expanded in radiology and how many of the companies showing AI products at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2025 meeting use the company's technology. She said a few key technology launches by GE Healthcare show a deeper integration of NVIDIA's AI technology, and shared what the next generation of "physical AI" will enable autonomous radiology exams.

Nvidia sees major shift in radiology to AI agents and new autonomous imaging systems

“Physical AI agents being able to actually deliver some of these services—all the way into robotic surgery—this is where we're going to see this next chapter of medicine be written,” said Kimberly Powell, vice president and general manager of healthcare at Nvidia.

Eric Rubin, MD, vice president of clinical operations at Virtua Health, and the American College of Radiology's CPT advisor to the American Medical Association (AMA), explains the process for creating a Category I CPT code for payments and the difference with Category III temporary tracking codes.

Radiology dominates FDA-cleared AI, but reimbursement lags far behind

As of January 2026, there will only be two CPT category 1 payment codes for newer AI, despite there being hundreds of FDA-cleared medical imaging algorithms.
