In Review - News from the 2004 Meeting of the RSNA

RSNA attendance edges up

Vendor participation grows slowly, but stays below 2000 levels

RSNA meeting attendance reached levels similar to those prior to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A preliminary account of total attendance pegged the number at 59,895, the highest since 2000 when 59,794 people attended the event. Compared with 2003, professional registration increased 4% to 26,401, but guest registration was down 2% to 5772, reflecting travel costs and visa restrictions. Vendor attendance showed signs of a gradual recovery, climbing 0.6% to 27,722, but was still below the levels of 2000 and 2002. (Photo by Evan McCauley)
