RSNA Board of Directors Report

RSNA 2016 Beyond Imaging

Plans for RSNA 2016 continue to move forward. The Board approved an additional Hot Topic session, “Zika—What the Radiologist Needs to Know.” Moderated by Dr. Deborah Levine, the session will be held Monday afternoon. The board also approved a hands-on demonstration of deep learning capabilities related to medical imaging.

Radiology Editor Selected

The Board has selected David A. Bluemke, MD, PhD, to serve as the nextRadiology editor. He will succeed Herbert Y. Kressel, MD, in 2018. Read more.

New Position Statements

RSNA annually reviews position statements on important radiology-related topics and makes them available to the media. In September the Board approved two new position statements on Imaging of the Prostate and Safety of the Developing Fetus in Medical Imaging During Pregnancy. These and twelve other position statements are available for RSNA members to use as they speak to their patients or the press about important topics in radiology. They are posted in the Media section of RSNA.org.

Healthcare Collaboration

The Board agreed to share support with the American College of Radiology to send a representative to the World Health Organization International Workshop on Medical Imaging of Asymptomatic People for Individual Health Assessment. The decision was also made to send an RSNA-sponsored speaker to the 2017 American Physician Scientists Association Annual Meeting.

International Representation

In consideration of RSNA’s significant Canadian membership it was agreed RSNA will add members nominated by the Canadian Association of Radiology to each of the following committees: Education Council, Committee on Scientific Affairs, RSNA News Editorial Board and the Resident and Fellow Committee. Also to better reflect the Society’s worldwide membership the Board approved a Bylaw amendment making members from outside North America eligible to be elected to RSNA vice president positions.

Building on Success in Latin America

Building on the success of RSNA’s first Spotlight Course held in Cancun in 2016 the Board approved a 2017 course to be held in Bogota, Colombia. The course will focus on musculoskeletal imaging and ultrasound and will be led by course directors Jorge Soto, MD, and Gabriel Dib, MD.

RSNA Leadership Appointments

The work of the RSNA moves forward only with the immense support of its volunteers. The Board was pleased to appoint members to committees and leadership roles across the Society. On behalf of the Board I am grateful for the talent and generosity of all RSNA volunteers.
