RSNA EMBARGO POLICY

An embargo is a hold put on reporting of news stories based upon a predetermined date of release. Journalists who agree to respect the embargo may be given advance materials to assist in their reporting of stories in a timely manner.

Radiology

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) supplies prepublication copies of articles appearing in the journal Radiology, as well as images, interviews and other support materials, to qualified members of the media who agree to abide by the embargo date set forth by RSNA. Journal studies that are highlighted in news releases distributed by RSNA are embargoed until 12:00 a.m. Eastern time on the date set forth by RSNA in all news release documents. Typically, this date coincides with publication of the study in Radiology online. All other studies in the journal are embargoed until the date and time of online publication.

RSNA does not permit the posting of full text journal articles on other Web sites. Media may request permission to link to a specific article.

Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) supplies prepublication copies of abstracts presented at our annual meeting held each year in Chicago, as well as images, interviews and other support materials, to qualified members of the media who agree to abide by the embargo date set forth by RSNA. All materials related to presentations that are highlighted by press conferences at the annual meeting are embargoed until the date and time set forth by RSNA. Scientific paper and poster presentations not highlighted by press conferences at the annual meeting are embargoed until the date and time of the scientific presentation.

Other RSNA News

Other news released by RSNA is subject to embargo set forth by RSNA in event-specific news release documents.

Embargo Change

In the event of an embargo change, media on RSNA's news distribution list will be notified by e-mail of the revised embargo date and time.

Embargo Break

Media who break an embargo may be excluded from distribution of all future advance materials and/or removed from the RSNA news distribution list at the discretion of RSNA.
