Additions for this year
The 2011 conference has added a few new items to its program, one of which is a Scientific Paper Session called “India Presents,” which is being coordinated by Dr. Hemant Patel and will discuss the most recent advancements in India’s radiological research.
This year’s meeting will also offer QR codes, which will allow attendees to use their smartphones to scan codes at scientific sessions and refresher courses in order to download abstract information.
The Quality Completion Certificate will provide attendees with a quality-improvement training session and a certificate of completion if they score 80 percent or higher on self-assessment module (SAM) test questions. Speakers from both private and academic radiology will be featured at the Leadership Refresher Course Track, designed to prepare professionals for leadership positions within radiology.
Other new aspects of the annual meeting will include the Residents/Fellow Program, which will advise radiology residents on how to get a job in the field; Diagnosis LIVE!: The Audience Participation Game, which will allow attendees to suggest diagnoses for various interactive case studies; and the Hospital Administrator Symposium, which will provide helpful suggestions on how to buy radiological equipment and succeed in the constantly-evolving industry.
The meeting will also feature additional case-based courses, including half-day programs in ultrasound and breast imaging, and full-day courses in pediatric radiology, neuroradiology, MR and nuclear medicine PET/CT.
For those who are unable to physically experience the event, the society will also be offering the RSNA 2011 Virtual Meeting, which will allow visitors to create a customized avatar and virtually attend select refresher courses, scientific presentations, education exhibits and plenary sessions, among other things.
