The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual meeting will be held December 1-5, 2024, in Chicago. Many of our department’s faculty, trainees and affiliated students will present as noted in the below schedule. In addition to presenting, many of our department members participate in social events, scientific abstracts, and more.
In addition to presenting, three of our faculty will receive lifetime achievement awards. Elizabeth Burnside, MD will receive RSNA’s Gold Medal for accomplishments in translating innovative ideas into medical decision making, leadership development and clinical breast imaging. RSNA will also award David Bluemke, MD, PhD and Perry Pickhardt, MD the Lifetime Honored Educator Award.
RSNA’s annual meeting provides radiology professionals and industry partners with endless opportunities to learn, connect, exchange ideas and see the latest technology in action. View the full program here.
