The total number of people attending the November RSNA meeting remained steady at about 60,000, while the number of international attendees grew to nearly 30%.
Although a breakdown by country was not available, the RSNA provided interpretation services in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. The society requires that scientific presentations be delivered in English.
According to the RSNA, 1672 scientific papers (oral presentations and posters) were presented, of which 1067 were international. Both are record numbers.
Six-hundred and seventy technical exhibits were linked and powered by more than 50 miles of fiber-optic cable and electrical wire. The two largest booths were GE Medical Systems and Siemens Medical Systems. GE claimed its booth was approximately 20,000 square feet, the size of eight or 10 three-bedroom homes. One news report put the number of GE employees attending at 200.
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.
