Medical Imaging’s Agent for Change

In 2011, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA®) took on

new initiatives to advance medical imaging for patients around the

world. Here’s a glimpse of how RSNA strives to be an agent for positive

change—and to serve you by delivering the resources you need to excel

in radiologic science, education and practice, to connect with your

colleagues, and, above all, to provide the best care for your patients.

2011 Annual Report 2

In 2011 RSNA membership reached an all-time

high of 48,567 members in 137 countries. RSNA

welcomed members in developing nations with

discounted dues and expanded the scope of its

international programs and fellowships.

To respond to the needs of this growing

community, RSNA gathered input from users

to develop a new, comprehensively redesigned

RSNA.org that delivers the information you

use most. RSNA’s vast volume of scientific,

educational and historical content is now

organized dynamically for RSNA members,

trainees, international professionals, product

exhibitors, patients and the media.

With the help of the RSNA Residents and

Fellows Committee, the Society expanded its

resources for trainees, including Fellowship

Connect, an online resource where trainees

can search for fellowship positions by specialty,

location, and institution.

RSNA also launched a new collection of

apps and new functionalities for its mobile

site, m.RSNA.org. Apps provide quick access

to Radiology and RadioGraphics as well as

RadiologyInfo.org and the RSNA Meeting

Program.

“Our community is becoming increasingly

global,” said 2011 RSNA president Burton P.

Drayer, M.D. “In addition to enhancing the

effectiveness of RSNA’s preeminent annual

meeting, educational programs, research

support, scientific journals and information

technology activities, we are working to expand

our collaborations with other imaging and

medical societies both in North America and

internationally.”

ATTENDEES MEETING PROGRAM TECHNICAL EXHIBITION

With 44,706 citations in 2011, Radiology was

the most cited journal in the field, according

to ISI Web of Knowledge Journal Citation

Reports®, and had the second highest impact

factor—6.066. Manuscript submissions to

Radiology hit a record high of 2,600.

Radiology continued to expand its online

dimensions for enhanced learning and

discussion, including monthly “Hear What We

Think” podcasts, articles published 6 weeks

ahead of print and exclusive online-only

material, also accessible through the Radiology

mobile app. The journal also began offering

CME opportunities for review articles beginning

in January 2011 and announced the upcoming

launch of Radiology Select, a series of essential

articles organized into topical collections for

every medical imaging professional.

At RSNA 2011, investigators presented more

than 3,000 scientific presentations in 16

subspecialties. From the printed Meeting

Program in Brief and Case of the Day displays,

attendees were able to scan quick reference

(QR) codes to immediately access online

abstracts on their mobile devices.

YOUR SCIENCE

Each month you can look to RSNA’s science journal, Radiology, to deliver the finest in research

and best clinical practice from all over the world.


RSNA’s biomarkers working groups, including

the Quantitative Imaging and Biomarkers

Alliance (QIBA), expanded a library of best-

practices protocols to help measure treatment

response in cancer, asthma and COPD. At

the Quantitative Imaging Reading Room

exhibit and kiosk at RSNA 2011, developers

showcased commercially available products

and applications that you can use to integrate

quantitative analysis into your interpretation

and reporting process.

RSNA continued to offer programs for

researchers pursuing federal funding, such

as Writing a Competitive Grant Proposal,

Advanced Course in Grant Writing and the

NIH Grantsmanship Workshop. Programs

including the RSNA Clinical Trials Methodology

Workshop and Introduction to Academic

Radiology helped members develop essential

skills for designing protocols and pursuing

careers in research and academia.

During its recent reaccreditation process,

RSNA was commended by the Accreditation

Council for Continuing Medical Education

(ACCME) “for demonstrating that yours is a

learning organization and a change agent for

the physicians you serve.”

Medical imaging professionals can now add

leadership to their credentials thanks to

the Academy of Radiology Leadership and

Management (ARLM). Sponsored by RSNA, the

Association of University Radiologists (AUR),

the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology

Departments (SCARD), the American Roentgen

Ray Society (ARRS), and the Association

of Administrators in Academic Radiology

Departments (AAARAD), ARLM has developed

a certificate program recognizing completion

of courses that promote leadership skills in

radiology. A list of qualifying courses—featured

at the RSNA, ARRS, AUR and SCARD annual

meetings—is available at RadLeaders.org.

RSNA collaborated with the American

Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)

to expand its library of popular online Physics

Modules, designed to educate radiologists and

radiology residents about important concepts

in physics as identified in the AAPM Physics

Curriculum.

In addition to the thousands of continuing

medical education (CME) credits available at

RSNA 2011—up to 92.75 for each physician—

RSNA awarded 99,451 CME certificates in 2011

through its online education activities, including

articles in its peer-reviewed education journal,

RadioGraphics. RSNA 2011 featured 233

refresher courses, 127 multisession courses

and 2,124 education exhibits.

More than 135 institutions are registered to

use the online RSNA/APDR Resident Learning

Portfolio, helping residents and program

coordinators document growth and progress

as physicians.

YOUR EDUCATION

RSNA’s educational resources are here to help radiologists and

allied professionals maintain certification, learn the latest

imaging techniques and keep their clinical skills sharp.


RadioGraphics celebrated the legacy of

editor William W. Olmsted, M.D., who retired

at the end of 2011 after serving at the helm

of the RSNA education journal since 1990.

“Bill intuitively understood that a journal that

serves a changing field such as radiology must

keep pace with changes in the specialty and

continually evolve,” said 2011 RSNA president

Burton P. Drayer, M.D. “Under his editorship,

RadioGraphics has become the premier

journal for continuing medical education in

radiology. RSNA—and indeed, the field of

radiology—owes William Olmsted a deep debt

of gratitude.”

Dr. Olmsted is succeeded by Jeffrey S. Klein,

M.D. Dr. Klein is the A. Bradley Soule and

John P. Tampas Green and Gold Professor of

Radiology, Department of Radiology, University

of Vermont College of Medicine and Fletcher

Allen Health Care. An RSNA member since

1986, Dr. Klein has served the Society in a

number of capacities, including as presenter

of numerous scientific sessions and refresher

courses at the RSNA annual meeting. He was

a member of the Refresher Course Committee

from 2003 to 2005 and the Education Exhibits

Awards Committee from 2005 to 2007.


Olmsted

Nearly every radiologist has a collection

of interesting cases on hand—and RSNA’s

Teaching File System makes it easy to migrate

them instantly into teaching files. In 2011, users

discovered upgrades to the system, including

a simple one-click installer as well as the Zip

Service, which lets you anonymize and upload

files all at once. The Teaching File System is

powered by RSNA’s Medical Imaging Resource

Center (MIRC), the same system that hosts the

Clinical Trials Processor tool, which lets clinical

trials administrators safely migrate huge

quantities of data across institutions.

RSNA’s Structured Reporting Committee

continued to expand its library of best-practice

structured reporting templates, ready for use by

equipment and software developers to produce

integration profiles that enable information to

flow easily into an electronic health record.

Standardized templates will make it easier to

retrieve information from radiology reports,

helping to reduce costs, minimize redundant

examinations and pull data for clinical trials.

myRSNA®, the free web-based tool for RSNA

members, underwent further refinement in

2011. With Point of Care (PoC) CME, members

can search peer-reviewed articles for answers

at their workstation and claim CME on the spot.

You can also store, share and play all your files

on myRSNA, with no need to install software.

Through its work within the Integrating the

Healthcare Enterprise® initiative, RSNA

promoted more seamless adoption of a

universal electronic health record by delivering

devices and software that are compliant with

cross-enterprise data sharing standards. The

IHE Image Sharing Demonstration at RSNA

2011 allowed attendees to see from a patient’s

perspective how images and radiology reports

can be instantly transmitted across health care

systems—and how patients can take control of

the process.

YOUR PRACTICE

RSNA is continually developing and improving free tools

and technologies that can help make your day-to-day

work easier and more efficient.


In addition to news about the latest discoveries

and the services available to the community,

RSNA News delivered timely articles each

month on topics such as the conundrum of

self-referral, the first FDA-approved mobile

radiology app, the National Lung Cancer

Screening Trial of the National Cancer Institute

and ways for radiologists to combat career

burnout. RSNA News also unveiled a sleek new

Tablet Edition for iPad and Android devices.

During the annual meeting, the Daily Bulletin

featured meeting highlights in both print and

mobile versions.

RSNA continued to keep members in the know

with electronic communications, including

a monthly E-Reminder and RSNA Weekly in

addition to audience-specific communications

such as R|F Buzz for residents and fellows and

QIBA Quarterly.

RSNA honored several individuals for their

contributions to radiologic science and education.

Bruce R. Rosen, M.D., was named 2011 Outstanding

Researcher. James G. Smirniotopoulos, M.D., was

named Outstanding Educator.

Honorary membership was awarded to Adrian

K. Dixon, M.D., of Cambridge, United Kingdom;

Ricardo D. Garcia-Mónaco, M.D., Ph.D., of

Buenos Aires, Argentina; and Yves M. Menu,

M.D., of Paris.

RSNA’s highest honor, the Gold Medal, was

presented to Robert R. Hattery, M.D., Bruce J.

Hillman, M.D., and Herbert Y. Kressel, M.D.

At RSNA 2011, the Bolstering Oncoradiologic

and Oncoradiotherapeutic Skills for Tomorrow

(BOOST) program delivered courses designed

to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration

in radiology and radiation oncology. The

Associated Sciences Consortium continued to

sponsor refresher courses providing continuing

education credits for physicians, radiologic

technologists and radiologist assistants at the

RSNA annual meeting. ASRT @ RSNA 2011,

presented in collaboration with the American

Society of Radiologic Technologists, explored

topics including strategies for earlier cancer

detection and approaches to gaining patient

trust and offered CE credit opportunities to

technologists.

YOUR PROFESSION

RSNA continues to foster relationships among medical specialties and subspecialties, honor

outstanding contributors to medical imaging and keep you in the know about issues affecting

the work you do each day.

The site explains radiology with images, videos

and slide-and-audio presentations in both

English and Spanish.

In 2011 RadiologyInfo.org was awarded a Gold

Web Health Award from the Health Information

Resource Center for its mobile-optimized

site. “This award provides much appreciated

independent confirmation of the quality and

excellence of the mobile platform for this unique

online resource for our patients,” said Christoph

Wald, M.D., Ph.D., co-chair of the RSNA-ACR

Public Information Website Committee.

RadiologyInfo.org received 16,941,773 page

views in 2011, including 1,241,454 views

from the mobile site. It introduced 15 new

procedures in 2011, including video fluoroscopic

swallowing exam (VFSE), CT enterography,

MR enterography, MR/CT urography, hip

ultrasound, MRI of the knee, MRI of the

shoulder, chest tubes, foreign body retrieval,

hepatobiliary imaging, renal scintigraphy, and

more. Twelve new “Your Radiologist Explains”

videos were added as well, and new pediatric

content—marked with teddy bear icons—was

added throughout the site.

RadiologyInfo.org is also the patient website

for the Image Gently and Image Wisely

campaigns to promote optimal use of radiation

in children and adults. Since their launch, 24,514

professionals have taken the Image Gently and

Image Wisely pledges.

RSNA continued its outreach to the public

through the “60-Second Checkup” audio

programs, with 24 segments aired on radio

stations throughout the U.S. in 2011.

At the 2011 annual meeting, RSNA hosted 13

news conferences, on topics including ‘Heading’

a Soccer Ball Could Lead to Brain Injury and

Eating Fish Reduces Risk of Alzheimer’s

Disease. Throughout the year, press releases

publicizing studies from Radiology were

distributed to the medical news media. Through

its media relations activities, RSNA saw more

than 22,400 placements in broadcast, print,

radio and online media, reaching an audience

of more than 12.5 billion.

To help patients understand medical imaging examinations

and procedures, RSNA and the American College of Radiology

host RadiologyInfo.org.

YOUR PATIENTS


CIRE continued to sponsor Introduction to

Research for International Young Academics, a

seminar at the RSNA annual meeting designed

to encourage young radiologists from countries

outside North America to pursue academic

radiology careers. The Derek Harwood-

Nash International Fellowships, which allow

international faculty members to study at

North American institutions, were awarded to

radiologists from Egypt and Jamaica.

RSNA collaborated with the European Society

is developing patient-specific dose estimation

and reporting methods for pediatric and adult

computed tomography. On average, every dollar

awarded by the Foundation results in more than

$30 in additional funds from organizations such

as the National Institutes of Health.

Grant funding is made possible by the support of

thousands of individuals, private practices and

corporations that share in the R&E Foundation’s

mission to improve patient care.
