If it’s late November, then it’s RSNA! The annual gathering of radiology professionals from around the globe is almost upon us. It’s one of my favorite meetings of the year. As a pediatric neuroradiologist, I tend to travel in a pretty small sphere, professionally speaking. One of the many things I love about RSNA – and my position with Applied Radiology – is the opportunity to interact with radiologists and other imaging professionals across all subspecialties.

It’s fascinating to hear the latest developments throughout our entire field being presented by respective leaders and experts, not to mention learning how to optimize and automate those all-important noninterpretive tasks that affect everyone, regardless of your subspecialty.

This year’s theme , Building Intelligent Connections , seems more relevant than ever, especially with the increasing offerings in artificial intelligence promising to help us work more efficiently and effectively under those crushing workloads. Also, at a time when folks in the United States and around the world are feeling less unified, fostering shared values and connections is greatly needed.

Please do stop by our booth just inside the entrance to the South Exhibit Hall (Booth 1500), if you will be attending in person. You might even walk away with a helpful item. We so enjoy meeting our readers and hope you enjoy putting faces to the names you’ve been reading in our pages over the years.

Digital Edition Greenlight

As mentioned in our previous issue, Applied Radiology is moving to an all-digital format in 2025, beginning with the January-February edition. We are excited to support the much-needed sustainability efforts in publishing (and beyond) while maintaining the high-quality content you’ve come to expect from AR over the decades. We look forward to embracing a greener future together.
