RSNA 2025 Preview
RSNA 2025 kicks off in less than two weeks with the theme of “Imaging the Individual.” This year’s plenary sessions focus on precision medicine and the role of medical imaging in tailoring treatments to individual patients.
In the opening session on Sunday, November 30, RSNA president Umar Mahmood, MD, PhD, gets the meeting started with his address highlighting radiology’s importance to health care and its position at the forefront of precision treatment, as well as new opportunities it offers to improve care and outcomes. Also in the opening session, Geoffrey Ginsburg, MD, PhD, provides an update on the National Institute of Health’s All of Us research program, which aims to gather data from more than 1 million Americans. Ginsburg’s talk will highlight future directions for the program, as well as some of the ways it is enabling individualized disease prevention, treatment, and care.
On Monday, December 1, Tait Shanafelt, MD, delivers a plenary session called “System Interventions to Foster Clinician Well-Being.” Research has demonstrated a link between physician well-being and quality of care, and there are work environment characteristics that organizations can modify to improve well-being and reduce burnout. Shanafelt will review current data and review specific actions organizations can take.
Also on December 1, Aya Kumaya, MD, will moderate an image interpretation session. Five radiologists will be shown unknown cases and provide insight into how they analyze images and develop differential diagnoses.

Simple Method Images Tissue Microstructures
Researchers at Stanford Medicine have developed a low-cost imaging method called computational scattered light imaging that images tissue microstructures at micrometer scale on histology slides without expensive staining or storage protocols. The researchers believe it will greatly increase the possibilities for mapping neuronal pathways.
Mallinckrodt Institute Establishing Center for AI-Based Imaging
The Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University in St Louis is establishing a center dedicated to AI-based imaging tools. The tools are intended to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, and other medical conditions. Among the tools that are being commercialized is one that analyzes mammograms to predict a patient’s five-year cancer risk and another that rapidly maps the brain. |

“Personalized breast cancer screening depends on accurately assessing an individual’s risk of developing breast cancer within a specific timeframe. We can use supplemental imaging and adjust screening frequency based on a woman’s breast density and likelihood of developing breast cancer within a short timeframe.”
— Fiona J. Gilbert, MBChB, a professor of radiology in the department of radiology at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, on a study in Radiology of 100,000 screening mammograms that demonstrated the potential of an AI tool to identify women at higher risk of developing interval breast cancers

COVER STORY
Remote Control
Staff shortages and high demand are stretching hospitals’ and imaging centers’ ability to provide MRI exams. To meet this need, more providers are exploring remote MRI imaging to fill the gaps.
FEATURE
Taking a Knee
Osteoarthritis can cause debilitating knee pain, and current treatments are less than ideal. A minimally invasive procedure is showing potential not only for treating symptoms but also for addressing the underlying disease.
