November 18, 2020 -- Artificial intelligence (AI) may again be the darling of this year's RSNA meeting, but there's more to imaging informatics than AI, of course. Our final stop on this year's Road to RSNA preview takes a look at what to expect in enterprise imaging, clinical decision support, 3D printing, augmented and virtual reality, business analytics, patient portals, and other informatics topics.

Social factors affect CT lung screening compliance
December 4, 2020 -- Whether individuals undergo CT lung cancer screening can depend not only on social factors such as unreliable transportation and type of insurance but also on a lack of awareness of screening recommendations, according to research presented Thursday at the virtual RSNA 2020 meeting. Discuss

Elastography shows promise for rotator cuff tears
December 4, 2020 -- Ultrasound with a shear-wave elastography technique was comparable to MRI for preoperative evaluation of rotator cuff tears, according to a Thursday presentation at the RSNA 2020 virtual meeting. Elastography measurements showed moderate correlation with MR metrics in the 60-patient study. Discuss
