In this week’s preview, here are some highlights of what you can expect to see coming soon on Diagnostic Imaging:
RSNA 2020 is in the books, but that does not mean coverage on Diagnostic Imaging stops. The conference still has a great deal to offer. Later this week, look for the third, and final, installment of videos with David Larson, M.D., professor of radiology at Stanford University, focusing on the ethical questions and challenges surrounding the use of artificial intelligence with patient data and medical imaging.
