Radiological Society of North America
Organization of medical imaging professionals
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is a non-profit organization and an international society of radiologists, medical physicists and other medical imaging professionals representing 31 radiologic subspecialties from 145 countries around the world.[1] Based in Oak Brook, Illinois, the Society was established in 1915. RSNA’s organizational mission is to promote excellence in patient care and health care delivery through education, research and technologic innovation.
RSNA hosts an annual conference in Chicago and develops educational resources such as courses, workshops and webinars. Additionally, RSNA publishes five peer-reviewed radiology journals, offers quality improvement tools,[2] sponsors research to advance quantitative imaging biomarkers,[3] conducts outreach to enhance radiology education[4] and patient care in low-income and middle-income countries[5] and collaborates with other major radiology societies in the Radiology Health Equity Coalition[6] to make a positive impact on health care equity in the radiology arena and beyond.
Organizational updates are available on RSNA’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
RSNA Annual Meeting[edit]
RSNA hosts the world’s largest annual[7] medical imaging conference,[8] a five-day event starting the last Sunday of November at the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago.
RSNA Journals[edit]
RSNA publishes five peer-reviewed journals:[9]Radiology,[10] offering radiology research and reviews; RadioGraphics,[11] dedicated to continuing education in radiology; Radiology: Artificial Intelligence,[12] highlights the emerging applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the field of imaging across multiple disciplines; Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging,[13] emphasizes research advances and technical developments in medical imaging that drive cardiothoracic medicine; Radiology: Imaging Cancer[14], covers the best clinical and translational cancer imaging studies across organ systems and modalities, including leading-edge technological developments.
RSNA Journals are supported by a strong social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
RSNA Case Collection[edit]
RSNA Case Collection[15] is an online resource of clinical cases intended to be used as an education and point-of-care tool. Developed by and created for radiologists, RSNA Case Collection includes image-focused case reports across radiology subspecialties and consists of images, relevant patient information, final and differential diagnoses, case discussions and references. All cases have been peer reviewed and are fully citable.
RSNA’s Case Collection is supported by an active Twitter presence.
RSNA Imaging AI Certificate Program[edit]
The RSNA Imaging AI Certificate Program[16] is a radiology specific, imaging AI certificate program that combines a case-based curriculum and on-demand learning with practical application.
The program is designed for radiologists, radiology residents, physicists, data scientists and clinical researchers who want to learn how to safely evaluate, implement, use and monitor performance of AI-based tools for medical imaging.
The program currently offers two courses: the Foundational Certificate course and the Advanced Certificate course. More certificate courses will be available in the future.
RSNA Courses, Workshops and Webinars[edit]
RSNA works with global radiology experts to develop courses on essential topics in medical imaging. These Spotlight Courses[17] are held in various locations around the world and the course programs are often in the region’s native language.[18]
RSNA offers a variety of in-depth workshops in grant writing, research development and academic radiology. [19]
Periodically, RSNA offers webinars on timely topics in the field of radiology. [20]
RadiologyInfo.org[edit]
Available in English and Spanish, RadiologyInfo.org[21] is the public information website developed and funded by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR). It was established to inform and educate the general public about what radiology is and what radiologists do. Approximately half a million people visit RadiologyInfo.org each month[citation needed].
RadiologyInfo.org is supported by an active social media presence on Twitter and Facebook.
RSNA News[edit]
RSNA News[22] is a source of radiology news, research and RSNA updates. Trusted as global resource, the print issue complements the online News website and is supported by a robust social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram.
RSNA Career Connect[edit]
RSNA Career Connect[23] helps radiologists search for jobs and fellowships. Employers can also use Career Connect to post available radiology jobs and fellowships.
RSNA R&E Foundation[edit]
The RSNA R&E Foundation supports radiology research through grant funding, training opportunities and industry initiatives that advance innovation in radiology. The Foundation has awarded $70 million in grants since 1984.[24]
RSNA Board of Directors[edit]
RSNA’s Board of Directors is a highly skilled and carefully selected group of individuals committed to improving the future of radiology and advancing the Society’s mission.[25]
