I’m also eager to hear the other plenaries. We have an outstanding line up of speakers who will explore the meeting theme from different perspectives, offering their visions on how human-technology connections will shape the future of health care.

The Learning Center Theaters will showcase sessions and exhibits with cutting-edge innovations in the areas of low-field and mobile MRI, theranostics, multi-omic and multicenter radiology AI and value-based, equitable and sustainable radiology.


I’m looking forward to this year’s “Country Presents” sessions, featuring Japan and Peru. I also encourage everyone to make time for the Technical Exhibits, with over 700 companies showcasing the latest technologies and solutions in medical imaging.

And for the first time this year, we are hosting a Welcome Reception for attendees after the Opening Session on Sunday, open to all attendees. I hope to see everyone there!

CL: Important topics like sustainability and health equity in radiology will be a major focus. RSNA is committed to promoting diverse representation in radiology practice and leadership, striving for global health equity, and reducing radiology’s impact on the environment.

As you might expect, we have a growing number of sessions and exhibits dedicated to AI applications across all subspecialties, including some that dive into the latest advances in large language models. And the massive AI Showcase in the South Hall always creates a buzz.

I am profoundly grateful for my RSNA volunteer experience. Being a part of an organization like RSNA allows you to engage with so many great minds from every part of the world. And the staff are second to none.
