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).

VIDEO: Use cases and implementation strategies for radiology artificial intelligence

Charles Kahn, Jr., MD, editor of the the journal Radiology: Artificial Intelligence, and professor and vice chair of radiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, explains the work involved integrating AI in radiology systems and the role of AI in augmenting patient care.
 

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

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, discusses the need to validate AI algorithms with your own patient population data.  

Interview with Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, a radiologist and managing partner at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York, chair of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Commission, serves on the Public Information Advisors Committee for Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and on the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) Communication Committee. She discusses post-COVID economic issues facing breast imaging centers, including the "great resignation" and lower reimbursements.

VIDEO: Issues with the great resignation and lower reimbursements in breast imaging

Stamatia Destounis, MD, FACR, a radiologist and managing partner at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care in Rochester, New York, and chair of the ACR Breast Commission, discusses post-COVID-19 economic issues facing breast imaging centers, including staffing problems from the "Great Resignation" and lower reimbursements. 

Illustration of the four types of breast tissue densities. The more dense, the harder it is for radiologists to detect cancers, which had led to about 40 states to now require notiofication of patients if they have dense breasts and the impact on their care, with possible miss-reads and that they may need supplemental imaging.

VIDEO: What is the impact of breast density notification laws?

Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) President John Lewin, MD, discusses how legislation concerning breast density notifications has impacted mammography.

FAPI PET/CT shows promise as a better radiotracer for cancer than 18F-FDG. It also can be used for detection of infection and inflammation.
