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).

5 reasons the time is not right for mandating limits on radiologists’ workload, duty or speed

Against the backdrop of radiologists getting sued for medical negligence after allegedly reading images too hastily, recent years have seen pointed calls for new radiology rules, requirements or regulations.

Researchers have designed a new cardiac SPECT imaging system that could potentially deliver images much faster than current models. The team presented its findings at the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), SNMMI 2022.

The need for speed: New-look cardiac SPECT imaging system could be up to 100 times faster than current models

Researchers presented their proposed design of a self-collimating SPECT system at SNMMI 2022.

Refined decision aid proves fruitful for patients with kidney masses

Complex renal cysts or solid renal masses appear in 13% to 27% of individuals who receive abdominal imaging.

ACR: FDA evidence backing thyroid monitoring in peds after ICM use is 'weak'

The ACR statement also brought to light some of the unintended consequences of the FDA’s contrast media safety warning.

Targeted radionuclide alpha therapy study wins SNMMI's Abstract of the Year

The study touts the benefits of targeted radionuclide alpha therapy for patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) who have not had success with other treatments.

‘Image of the Year’ highlights the predictive power of a new PET imaging agent

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging has chosen its 2022 Image of the Year, and it’s one that is sure to interest anyone in the field of cardiac imaging.

Many clinicians flouting X-ray-first guidelines for ankle imaging

Established clinical guidelines hold that patients presenting with ankle issues should not receive advanced imaging ahead of standard radiography. New research shows a substantial proportion of ordering clinicians sending these patients straight to MRI anyway.
