Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is a non-profit organization that represents 31 radiologic subspecialties from 145 countries around the world. We provide high-quality educational resources, including continuing education credits toward physicians’ certification maintenance, host the world’s largest radiology conference and publish five top peer-reviewed journals.

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.

VIDEO: Overview of MRI market and technology trends

Bhvita Jani, research manager, Signify Research, explains some key trends and technology advances in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) market leading into the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 2022 meeting. 

November 3, 2022
The University of Southern California was among the first imaging centers in the U.S. to install a 7T MRI. This high-end part of the MRI market is small and is mainly made up of academic research centers. The main MRI market is made of of 1.5T systems, but there is rising demand for 3T, which Signify research may eventually become the standard for MRI.

Top MRI trends include helium-free systems, compressed sensing and AI

Signify Research outlines several key technologies and trends in MRI to look for at the Radiological Society of North America 2022 meeting.

A GE Revolution CT system on display at the 2022 Society of cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) meeting is an example of the types of the systems being sought in the U.S. and Western Europe replacement CT market. It features AI enhanced features to automate protocol and help reduce dose, 160 mm of anatomical coverage per rotation and offers spectral imaging using fast kV switching between different energies during one scan.

Trends and new technology in computed tomography systems

Leading up to the 2022 RSNA meeting, Signify Research shares the trends and new innovations in CT scanner technology it has seen in recent years.

Charles E. Kahn, Jr., MD, MS, editor of the the RSNA journal Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, and professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He discusses the need to validate artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms with your own patient population to determine if it is accurate for a specific institutions patients. He also explains how bias can be inadvertently added into a algorithm, and how the AI may take learning shortcuts. #AI

Automated AI-generated measurements combined with annotated CT images can improve treatment planning and help referring physicians and patients better understand their disease, explained Sarah Jane Rinehart, MD, director of cardiac imaging with Charleston Area Medical Center.

Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans. 

"Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive datasets, saving valuable time," Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Tuesday.
