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)

Long-term lung cancer survival rates see a 'dramatic' boost thanks to early detection initiatives

When lung cancer is caught in its early stages, long-term survival rates can reach 80% and higher, according to a new large-scale, 20-year international study presented at this year's RSNA meeting.

Ultra-high-res MRI Reveals Migraine Brain Changes

7T MRI scans provide a high-res look at how migraines affect the brain

In a new analysis, scheduled to be presented at RSNA 2022 in Chicago, researchers have identified enlarged perivascular spaces in the brains of migraine patients. This may be suggestive of waste clearance issues in the central nervous system.

Experts ID imaging biomarkers in kids with ADHD

The study's authors explained how MRI results can be used to help identify children with ADHD—and how these findings could be used in the AI algorithms of tomorrow. The team will be presenting its findings at RSNA 2022 in Chicago. 

Bruce Haffty, MD, president of Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Board of Directors, chair of radiation oncology, associate vice chancellor for cancer programs at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey and system director of radiation oncology at RWJBarnabas Health, discusses the president’s address "Diagnostic Imaging: Value From the Lens of the Patient," with Radiology Business. Haffty will present his opening session at RSNA 2022 at 4 p.m., Nov. 27, 2022, in the Arie Crown theater.

First-of-its-kind, dedicated lung scanner to be revealed at RSNA

The scans can be completed in less than five seconds and require less radiation than a traditional chest x-ray.  

The Nanox ARC cold-cathode, tomosythesis 3D X-ray system is currently pending FDA clearance. If cleared, it would be the first device of its kind to offer cold-cathode X-ray tube technology and the ability to slice through the anatomy in images similar to CT scans aid diagnosis. The new type of tube also could greatly reduce the size and weight of X-ray systems. The vendor sees this system as key to its larger plan to address health disparities and access to imaging world-wide. #Nanox

Can cold-cathode X-ray combined with teleradiology and AI eliminate health disparities?

The Israeli vendor Nanox says it has a vision for the future of healthcare. It seeks to address health disparities and access challenges with a new business model and innovative package of technologies. Hurdles loom, but opportunities abound.

RSNA primes 2022 conference attendees for virtual participation, technical exhibits

With its 108th scientific assembly and annual meeting a little more than two weeks away, the Radiological Society of North America is encouraging attendees to experience 2022’s big show virtually—even if they’ll be there in person.

MRI system advances include helium-free MRI systems (left is Philips version of this system), and compressed sensing (right, GE's version of this technology), which can greatly reduce scan times. Both technologies were mentioned in an overview by Signet Research of new tech that will be at RSNA 2022.
