May 17, 2021 — The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) announced today that 10,378 scientific and educational abstracts were submitted for presentation at its 107th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting (RSNA 2021), to be held Nov. 28 to Dec. 2, 2021, at McCormick Place in Chicago. The large volume of submissions reflects the overwhelming enthusiasm of presenters, faculty and attendees to reconvene in Chicago at the world’s largest radiology forum.
“We have heard from many of our regular attendees and exhibitors that they are excited and ready to get back to Chicago for the RSNA meeting, and we look forward to welcoming them,” said RSNA president Mary C. Mahoney, M.D. “We are planning a robust in-person scientific assembly and technical exhibition, along with a virtual meeting component to enhance attendees’ meeting experience.”
RSNA 2021: Redefining Radiology promises to deliver an outstanding program with a multitude of science, education and CME opportunities for radiology professionals from around the world. Popular features like the Image Interpretation Session, Case of the Day, and the “Fast 5”—brisk and engaging presentations on how medical insight and research are driving the future of radiology—will offer dynamic experiences for attendees. Plenary sessions will feature inspiring and informative talks from luminaries in their fields, and the Discovery Theater returns in 2021 with lively presentations and entertainment.
“This is such a critical time for radiology professionals to develop responses to the rapidly changing healthcare environment,” said Curtis P. Langlotz, M.D., Ph.D., RSNA board liaison for Information Technology and Annual Meeting. “In addition to the outstanding research and abundant educational opportunities available at RSNA 2021, the meeting provides an opportunity to reconnect face-to-face with friends and colleagues to share what we’ve learned over the past two years.”
As the world’s largest medical imaging conference, RSNA 2021 also provides the ultimate show floor for demonstrating the latest medical imaging technologies in CT, MRI, artificial intelligence (AI), 3D printing, and more. Exhibitor interest has been strong with 442 companies reserving 312,400 square feet of exhibit space at the first opportunity.
The technical exhibition will once again feature the AI Showcase and Theater, as well as the 3D Printing and Mixed Reality Showcase, the First-time Exhibitor Pavilion, Educators Row and Recruiters Row. Learn more about RSNA 2021 exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities.
Registration for RSNA 2021 opens July 21 and will be free to members through October 1. Hotel reservations are open. Visit RSNA.org for more information and to sign up to receive future annual meeting updates.
As part of RSNA’s commitment to inclusion, Camp RSNA, onsite daycare that has been in operation for more than 20 years, will be offered this year at no cost to members. For those traveling to the meeting with children, Camp RSNA provides a safe environment with a creative, customized schedule of events and a variety of engaging age-appropriate activities led by trained professionals.
With a mission that focuses on health and patient care, the primary consideration for RSNA is the health and safety of all attendees, exhibitors and staff. The Society is actively working with the City of Chicago and McCormick Place to implement public health protocols and best practices to provide the safest possible meeting environment.
RSNA 2021 will also offer a virtual component for individuals who are impacted by institutional, corporate or national travel restrictions. The Virtual Meeting will feature 100% of eligible meeting content.
