The past few weeks have been a whirlwind, with the excitement of the Thanksgiving holiday followed by the even more exciting hustle and bustle of one of our favorite meetings: RSNA. It would take countless hours and likely hundreds of pages to detail everything from RSNA19, but there were a few key takeaways we want to highlight from the conference over the next few days. First and foremost is an update on AI.  

Jointly presented by medical physicists and radiologists, this session focuses on current trends in radiation dose across the U.S. and methods for monitoring and tracking radiation dose. A variety of specific tools for dose mitigation will be discussed along with the challenge of balancing diagnostic quality against dose reduction across a variety of CT applications and patient types.

Being a technologist can be a demanding job, but by regularly taking the time to brush up on your CT knowledge you are contributing to your success in your career, the improvement of your imaging center and refining the patient’s overall experience. Here’s a list of our top 9 computed tomography resources for CT technologists, to help keep you informed and educated about what's changing in the industry!

Two years ago ISCT launched our comprehensive education ondemand website, which offers dozens of CME accredited courses specific to computed tomography. Our catalog of content has continued to expand over the years, and now our site is a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to stay in the know on what’s happening in CT technology and practice. You can learn a little more about how our education ondemand content works here, but for now let’s highlight some of the top benefits of our program.

The ISCT 2019 symposium is specifically designed to benefit not just radiologists, but members from every aspect of the department. This year’s program holds true to ISCT standards, packed with more than 85 tactical, CT-specific talks designed to assure that you, our audience, are prepared to leverage your CT technology and orient your CT practice to the greatest benefit for your patients, both today and into the future. Every radiology conference has its benefits, here are 5 reasons to attend ours:

We’re excited for all of this year’s sessions, but want to shine a special spotlight on one of particular interest for many attendees: our pediatric session. Pediatric imaging is a huge focus in the radiology world right now, with initiatives like the Image Wisely campaign and others drawing attention to pediatric imaging guidelines, dose optimization, and the avoidance of unnecessary imaging procedures.

Artificial intelligence is and will continue to be one of the hottest topics in radiology. From applications and use cases for the technology to how AI and deep learning will affect radiologists' livelihoods and a variety of CT subspecialties, the theme of artificial intelligence will be emphasized throughout our entire 2019 program.

ISCT's annual symposium is the pinnacle of all things CT, and a can’t miss event for anyone looking to further their industry knowledge and career growth. Although many of our radiology peers will make the trip to attend ISCT 2019 in person, we recognize that there are several factors that may prohibit others from joining us in San Diego. ISCT's Live Stream option is perfect for industry peers who are looking to continue their educational growth and earn CME credits, but can't make it to San Diego in person. Here's how it works:
