Image interpretation session - Sunday, November 25, 2001

The Sunday afternoon Image Interpretation Session remains a highly attended and anticipated highlight of the annual meeting of the Radiological Societ y of North America. Now an established RSNA tradition since its introductio n in 1939, this year's session promises to be another challenging and enter taining encounter with 10 unknown cases, two each in the categories of musc uloskeletal, abdominal, thoracic, ultrasound, and neurologic imaging. All of the cases for discussion have been seen at Boston Medical Center ove r the past year, and thus reflect the disease mix of an active urban academ ic medical center. The panel is composed of five internationally known auth orities, who will have the opportunity to demonstrate their individual appr oach to elucidating and organizing the radiologic findings to arrive at a r easonable differential diagnosis. We hope to make this session not the "ult imate board certification examination," but rather a real-life approach by experienced radiologists to cases encountered in an actual clinical environ ment. The entire Image Interpretation Session, including questions, answers, and discussion, will be available online in early 2002 through RSNA Link in the InteractEd pages (www.rsna.org/education/interactive/sunday_image/index.ht ml) and may be viewed for category 1 continuing medical education credit.
