RSNA 2023: Leading Through Change will bring together an international community of medical imaging professionals and industry partners and will help you stay up to date with the latest radiology advancements.

Featuring over 300 educational courses and more than 3,500 scientific papers, education exhibits and science posters, RSNA 2023 will also include an engaging line-up of plenary speakers sharing insights on the topics that are most relevant to today’s radiologists.

This year, the Technical Exhibits halls are home to more than 650 exhibitors, including over 100 first-time exhibitors. This group of welcome newcomers is comprised of recruiters and academic institutions as well as a variety of industry partners who are excited to share their products and services with you. Come see their offering of next-generation imaging modalities, AI, interoperability, workflow, 3D printing, automation and staffing solutions.

To help attendees plan for RSNA 2023, Jorge Soto, MD, chair of the RSNA Annual Meeting Program Planning Committee (AMPPC) provides a preview of this year’s trending topics. Dr. Soto notes that regardless of your subspecialty or career stage, there is something for everyone at RSNA 2023.

“Members of our committee performed an exhaustive review of the hundreds of abstract submissions,” Dr. Soto said. “It is exciting to have a first-hand look at the breadth and depth of work being done by our global colleagues and to realize the impact this work might have on our profession.”

Watch Dr. Soto discuss this year's RSNA 2023 meeting highlights:

In addition to a strong response to the initial call for abstracts, many submissions were received for a second abstract call that focused on late breaking research in the areas of generative AI, sustainability in imaging, imaging of immunotherapy and theranostics.

Sessions selected from the second call will be featured in the Learning Center theaters throughout the week. “After introducing the Learning Center Theater last year for the presentation of research selected during our second call, we are pleased to announce the addition of a second Learning Center Theater to accommodate schedules and seating for this popular new feature,” Dr. Soto said.

Which topics are trending for RSNA 2023?

“Trends vary somewhat, depending on your subspecialty, but applications of AI and photon-counting CT have been popular across nearly every subspecialty,” Dr. Soto said. “Theranostics is also increasing in popularity along with the use of large language models for a variety of different uses.”

Attendees will also enjoy a wide selection of non-interpretive sessions that will help them sharpen skills beyond imaging. With radiology professionals continuing to focus on ensuring equitable access to health care for all patient populations and understanding diversity, equity and inclusion, sessions throughout the week will be available for attendees interested in making changes at their own institutions and practices.

“We’ll have several experts sharing useful insights and ideas for improving in the areas of DEI and health equity,” Dr. Soto said. “These sessions can be thought-provoking both from the research and clinical perspectives.”

Annual Meeting Learning Center

Dr. Soto noted that in addition to the latest research, attendees can also rely on the annual meeting for a robust offering of CME opportunities. “Both in-person and virtual participants will experience an immersive week filled with chances to discover, connect, learn and grow,” Dr. Soto said. “We look forward to providing this world-class experience to our world-class attendees.”
