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).

Concerns raised over how hospitals can validate radiology AI algorithms

As artificial intelligence (AI) adoption expands in radiology, there is growing concern that AI algorithms need to undergo quality assurance (QA) reviews.

Bibb Allen, MD, FACR, chief medical officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Data Science Institute, and former ACR president, explains how hospitals or radiology departments can conduct quality assurance (QA) assessments on artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms they adopt to ensure they are accurate. The ACR established the Assess-AI Registry and AI-Lab to help with validating and tracking AI QA for FDA-cleared algorithms.
