Program Highlights
RSNA 2022 will deliver a comprehensive program with a multitude of CME (Continuing Medical Education) opportunities for radiology professionals around the world.
Dynamic experiences for attendees will also be available like the Image Interpretation Session and Case of the Day. RSNA 2022 will also bring back popular features like the rapid-fire “Fast 5,” with topics centering on the meeting theme, and The Discovery Theater with lively presentations and entertainment.
The meeting kicks off on Sunday, November 27 with Dr. Haffty taking the stage to deliver his President’s Address – “The Value of Diagnostic Imaging from the Lens of the Patient,” which will explore the patient’s perspective on medical imaging. “From reducing uncertainty and anxiety to empowering patients with the knowledge and giving them a greater sense of control, the value of imaging to our patients is often underestimated among radiologists, and certainly among other members of the healthcare team,” Dr. Haffty said. “By redefining value through the lens of the patient, we can better understand and connect to the meaning of our work in imaging.” Sunday’s opening session will also feature Elizabeth Morris, MD, who will discuss her experience as a breast cancer patient and how it has fueled her desire to ensure that patient care is respectful and responsive to each patient’s preferences, needs, and values.
On Monday, November 28, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Siddartha Mukherjee, MD will join the session to share his insights into human health, medicine, and science. The Image Interpretation session will take place after that, led by Mini Pathria, MD, who will moderate the session where attendees can join a panel of experts in identifying abnormal findings that are critical to making accurate diagnoses.
During Tuesday’s session, Reed A. Omary, MD will discuss the responsibility of today’s radiology professionals to create the best possible experiences for patients, communities, and the planet. Following that session, moderator Amanda Starc, Ph.D. will lead an expert panel in an exploration of the latest health care policy developments and their impact on the field of medical imaging in “Medicare and U.S. Healthcare Policy: A National Conversation.”
Wednesday morning features a lively team-based game show session, while the afternoon consists of an expert panel moderated by Quynh-Thu Le, MD to discuss the use of machine learning for risk stratification in radiation oncology and optimizing radiation therapy workflows.
Thursday’s RSNA/AAPM Symposium will highlight the successful collaboration between radiologists and physicists in technical developments and clinical translations in medical imaging.
Virtual Access for RSNA 2022 will feature nearly 100% of all programming available at the annual meeting.
Camp RSNA will also be available to children aged six months to 12 years as a part of RSNA’s commitment to creating an inclusive experience for all radiology professionals.
