By reporting #RSNA24 attendance of 40k at mid-week (up 18% over last year), the meeting appears to have pulled ahead of #HIMSS24 (35k) for the title of largest US medical meeting. #HIMSS23 claimed the title in 2023 (35k vs. 34k for #RSNA23). buff.ly/4f7RrN4
RSNA Goes All-In on AI | RSNA Attendance Up 18% - The Imaging Wire
RSNA goes all-in on AI, mammo AI pays off, patient prep speeds MRI, opportunistic CT screening, imaging costs still scare patients, and more.

Two trivial critiques of this excellent story by the great @brian-casey.bsky.social: (1) due to RSNA succession rules, it was clear I would be president this year ever since I was elected to the board in 2016. (2) I don’t consider HIMSS a medical meeting; IMHO it’s an IT meeting. 🤓

🚨 Agentic Systems in Radiology
Everyone’s talking about agents🕵️♀️🕵️♂️ — but what happens when you bring them into real clinical workflows?
Our new preprint explores the design, applications, challenges, and evaluation of LLM-based agents and agentic workflows in radiology 👇

Magical Thinking on AI

Congratulations to @erichorvitz.bsky.social and team—such nice work. AI + human is still better than either one alone if the collaboration is well designed.
Study on clinician-AI collaboration: "As LLMs now demonstrate expert-level diagnostic performance, the focus shifts from whether AI can offer valuable suggestions to how it can be effectively integrated into the diagnostic workflow..." Many opportunities ahead.
