This channel contains news about the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), including coverage of its annual meeting and society news. RSNA is a leading resource for the radiology and all its subspecialties. This includes the areas of cardiac imaging, angiography, interventional radiology, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear imaging, ultrasound, PACS and advanced visualization. DAIC concentrates on coverage of RSNA on aspects specific to cardiovascular medicine and interventional radiology. For radiology coverage of RSNA, visit our sister publication Imaging Technology News (ITN) and its RSNA channel.

More than a decade ago, there was an alarming, rapid rise in ionizing radiation exposure in the U.S. population that was mainly driven the increased use of medical imaging.
More complex, longer interventional procedures such as structural heart interventions or this revascularization of a coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, requires angiography imaging systems that have improved image detail and lower radiation dose. However, purchase of new systems was put on hold by many hospitals in 2020 due to the sudden drop in elective procedures and diversion of resources due to the COVID-19. Photo by Dave Fornell.

An example of Philips’ TrueVue technology, which offers photo-realistic rendering and the ability to change the location of the lighting source on 3-D ultrasound images. In this example of two Amplazer transcatheter septal occluder devices in the heart, the operator demonstrating the product was able to push the lighting source behind the devices into the other chamber of the heart. This illuminated a hole that was still present that the occluders did not seal. Photo by Dave Fornell
