For this year’s RSNA the scientific program committee reviewed more than 6,000 abstracts, with 1,633 papers and 683 scientific posters accepted. "The scientific program will be spectacular this year due to the high quality of submitted abstracts and the continued development and evolution of our specialty," said Gerald D. Dodd III, M.D., chair of the RSNA Scientific Program Committee and professor and chair of the Department of Radiology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Some of the highlights from RSNA include:
Breast Imaging
• Digital mammography.
• Tomosynthesis and breast MR, including MR spectroscopy.
• Cost-effectiveness of digital versus film mammography.
• Bilateral MRI for the presurgical evaluation of patients with known breast cancer.
Cardiac Imaging
• Non-cardiac findings in cardiac CT.
• Multislice CT for congenital heart disease.
• MR angiography in left atrial/pulmonary venous ablation.
Chest Radiology
• Latest findings in lung cancer screening.
• Impact of spiral CT on patient care.
• Impact of CT angiography on the workup for pulmonary embolism.
• Outcome measures response to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Gastrointestinal Radiology
• CT and MR colongraphy.
• MR perfusion and diffusion imaging of the abdomen and pelvis.
• Emergence of dual energy CT applications.
Musculoskeletal Radiology
• Faster acquisition of MR images of the knee.
• Use of to study the loss of body fat from different anatomical areas through diet and exercise.
• How MRI machines could be configured to allow imaging of the spine with patients sitting instead of lying.
