RSNA 2020 goes virtual for Nov. 29 to Dec. 5 annual meeting

PARCA eNews – Nov. 11, 2020 – RSNA 2020 forges ahead with its annual meeting going online with a virtual meeting venue, and people are getting used to attending such meetings. 

As of this writing, over 16,000 people had registered for sessions being held Nov. 29-Dec.5, 2020. The number of virtual only registrations in 2019 were 2,487.

“We’re very pleased to have this many attendees registered so far in advance of our first-ever entirely virtual event, and we expect registration to continue to grow,” said RSNA president James P. Borgstede, MD in a press release.

 "Many people register later for online events than they do for in-person meetings. This just confirms that the RSNA Annual Meeting is radiology’s premier yearly forum, no matter the format."

The hot topics for 2020, no surprise, were topped by COVID-related topics including a Comprehensive Imaging Review of COVID-19 with a focus on pneumonia, an expert consensus and recommendations.

Artificial Intelligence will also remain a topic of high interest with a variety of scientific presentations on how AI can improve disease specific diagnoses, workflow integration and reporting systems.

Other sessions will be available on breast imaging, cardiac radiology, chest radiology, emergency radiology and more.

Registration for members are eligible to receive a free virtual conference pass with meeting access extended through April 30, 2021. Standard registration provides a 7-day virtual conference pass with a week-long access to more than 350 education and science sessions. All meeting access expires after Dec. 5.
