HCB News: What are some of the presentations you're most looking forward to at this year's meeting?
CR: Honestly, what I'm looking forward to again is the vibe, the energy, the "it" that SIIM has every year we were live. I'm looking forward to seeing — in person — my friends and colleagues en masse. For presentations, we have three fun keynote addresses planned by Drs. Rick Wiggins, Jaishree Naidoo, and Anant Madabhushi. Last year's industry tech day was very popular and we will continue it. Our Global Track will expand again to include Canada, India, and more speakers representing countries in southeast Asia. Lastly, we are mandating more innovative ways to deliver in-person education, like more whiteboards, debates, affinity mapping, and test-your-knowledge questions to make SIIM a “must-attend” event.

HCB News: How do you expect imaging informatics to evolve over the next few years?

CR: I see the highest priorities of imaging informaticists will be maturing our AI infrastructure and practices, transitioning imaging data to the cloud, integrating best practices across the specialty verticals, improving our point-of-care ultrasound policies, improving the consistency and value in our reports, and driving population health across imaging practices.
