In concert with the RadioGraphics monograph, RSNA News shares the latest on the role of medical imaging in disease screening. After generating significant interest in the early 2000s, screening CT colonography (CTC) has remained underutilized, largely due to a 2009 non-coverage decision by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and an initial lack of “A grade” recommendation from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

While both diagnostic and interventional radiology (IR) are experiencing a period of significant change, the specialties are evolving in different ways. As IR becomes increasingly clinical and patient-facing, some leaders are asking whether it still belongs within a traditional radiology department. On the diagnostic side, clinical practice is being transformed by AI—a technology that has had less impact on IR. Instead, IR is becoming an increasingly surgical specialty.

In concert with the RadioGraphics monograph, RSNA News shares the latest on the role of imaging in disease screening. Imaging biomarkers can detect and quantify atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in its early stages, complementing standard risk-prediction models and addressing some of their limitations. This approach offers an opportunity for earlier detection and more personalized prevention of ASCVD, a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.

As radiology departments across the U.S. grapple with workforce shortages, new federal restrictions on green cards and employment authorization documents are creating uncertainty for international physicians, researchers and trainees who help fill critical roles.

RSNA has unveiled Technical Exhibits highlights at RSNA 2026: At the Center of Care, the Society’s 112th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting, taking place at Chicago’s McCormick Place Nov. 29–Dec. 3, 2026. Spanning the North and South Halls of McCormick Place, Technical Exhibits will occupy over 421,000 feet of show floor space. More than 700 companies have registered to exhibit thus far, and more than 120 are exhibiting at RSNA for the first time.

A minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique offers long-term relief for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome with fewer side effects than steroids, according to a new study published in Radiology. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with repetitive motions of the wrist and hands that lead to numbness, tingling, weakness and pain. Research has shown that the condition affects roughly 5% to 10% of the general population over their lifetimes, and incidence is rising.

In concert with the RadioGraphics monograph, RSNA News shares the latest on the role of medical imaging in disease screening. Low-dose lung cancer screening (LCS) CT scans can reveal many findings beyond lung nodules, including coronary artery calcification, emphysema, osteoporosis, thoracic aortic aneurysms and upper abdominal lesions.

Michael S. Gee, MD, MBA, PhD, is a candidate for a standing director position on the RSNA Board of Directors. Dr. Gee is the Nathaniel and Diana Alpert Endowed Deputy Chair of Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston. He also serves as director of integrated radiology research for Mass General Brigham.

Ask three veteran RSNA Annual Meeting attendees what keeps them coming back year after year, and the answers vary, but a common theme emerges: the meeting offers myriad ways to connect, learn and grow, with attendees tailoring the experience to their own interests and career stage.
