One of the more pleasant things we do at the RSNA meeting every year is conduct our annual editorial advisory board breakfast. We invite all members of the advisory board (listed below) and our columnists to a hot breakfast and a discussion about what's big, new, and important in radiology.
One of the more pleasant things we do at the RSNA meeting every year is conduct our annual editorial advisory board breakfast. We invite all members of the advisory board (listed below) and our columnists to a hot breakfast and a discussion about what's big, new, and important in radiology.
The hour is always early, 7 a.m., which prompts a bit of grousing from participants, but the discussion is always stimulating and productive. It gives our staff editors, the Diagnostic Imaging sales staff, and the editorial advisors themselves an inside look at some of the thinking that drives today's practicing radiologists.
This year, I prepared a summary of the meeting and sent it out to other advisors who were not able to attend. At this writing, I'm still getting responses.
For me and the other editors, this information is golden. We talk to radiologists all the time about specific topics, but there's nothing like a freewheeling discussion to open up new concepts and ideas. It allows us to pinpoint and refine ideas that make the magazine more relevant and topical. For those who participate, either in person or via replies to my summary, it's a chance to exchange views on important trends.
Among the observations: Pay for performance is gaining traction, radiology-specific search engines are replacing textbooks among residents, and advanced visualization is playing a bigger role in interpretation. Underlying all of these trends, the pace of change in radiology is increasing.
In the months ahead, we'll be writing about those changes and discussing their implications. Stay tuned.

MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
