The organization said the health and safety of its attendees, exhibitors and staff is its "primary consideration" but did not give any indication if vaccination will be required.

Virtual Meeting

The 2021 ISMRM conference and exhibition was set to take place May 15-20 as a hybrid in-person and online gathering.

The artificial intelligence platform outperformed both body mass index and overall weight at forecasting such outcomes, researchers explained recently.

During a session at RSNA, researchers detailed how their 2D convolutional neural network outperformed even the best-trained algorithms.

The in-person gathering has only been canceled twice before, in 1943 and 1945, due to circumstances surrounding World War II.

Imaging informatics experts from the University of Pennsylvania and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center shared their successes—using varying levels of technology to connect and improve the patient experience—during SIIM's virtual meeting.

“[Remote reading] could be a new normal in a specific paradigm shift for all of us and we’re going to have to adapt," Matthew Hayes, a PACS Manager at Radiology Partners, said during SIIM's 2020 virtual meeting.

Automated AI-generated measurements combined with annotated CT images can improve treatment planning and help referring physicians and patients better understand their disease, explained Sarah Jane Rinehart, MD, director of cardiac imaging with Charleston Area Medical Center.

Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans. 

Advanced imaging equipment using ionizing radiation enters the global market at the rate of one new technology every five years.
