Emerging Technologies in Radiology: Help or Hype?
This course will discuss four emerging technologies with a critical eye towards how they may be helpful and how they may be mostly hype. The focus will be on technologies that are available (or almost available) as clinical products: Machine-learning based image reconstruction; abbreviated/focused MRI; quantitative imaging biomarkers; and photon counting CT. Discussion of these topics could assist radiologists with purchase decisions in their practice as well as helping to focus continuing education efforts on technology that is most likely to be of value.
Learning to Lead and the Art of Negotiation
With the shortage of radiologists due to increasing volumes and earlier retirements, many are being placed into positions of leadership earlier in their career. The ability to negotiate and understand contracts is now more important than ever. This ARRS-AAWR session will provide participants at all career levels with tips, skills, and strategies for becoming a leader, negotiating contracts and clinical expectations, and working together to ensure gender parity in the workplace.

Efficiency: (AI and Related) Strategies and Solutions for Driving Wellness
Multiple peer-reviewed studies have consistently demonstrated a high prevalence of radiologist burnout. Burnout has been linked with adverse patient outcomes and physician turnover. In this session, practical strategies and solutions to improve radiologist workflow, including use of AI, are described.
Breast Cryoablation: Why, When, and How?
This course will review and reinforce the appropriate indications for breast cryoablation as well as the skills and techniques required for successful breast cryoablation.
Challenging Cases in Thoracic Imaging
Challenging unknown thoracic imaging cases are common every day in both private and academic practice settings. This course will provide a succinct overview of challenging cases in thoracic imaging, covering multiple disease categories, in an audience interactive setting, highlighting different techniques and search patterns that can be used to approach such cases.
High-Resolution 2D and 3D MR Imaging of Medium and Small Joints
High-resolution MR imaging of wrist, fingers, ankle, toes, and elbow joints have received less attention in literature and with routine use of 2D and 3D MR imaging, tissue structures of these small joints and their pathology are delineated in superior details and contrast with improved diagnosis. This session will feature speakers from different tertiary care institutions, experienced in medium and small joint MRI and 3D MRIs.
A Radiologist’s Perspective on Financial Literacy and Success: From Debt to Wealth
This course will provide an introduction to financial topics relevant to both trainees and practicing radiologists to increase their financial literacy, make more informed decisions and achieve financial independence. Faculty will guide trainees with the transition, help early career radiologists with debt management and experienced radiologists with wealth management and retirement planning.
Residents Symposium: Disruptors in the Radiology Workforce
New technologies, an unprecedented shortage of radiologists, and a dramatic increase in imaging volume have challenged traditional radiology workforce models. This symposium will explore the current and future trends shaping the practice of radiology and the radiology workforce.

Radiology Year in Review
Francis Baffour and Hyun Soo Ko walk you through the most important and influential AJR articles of the last year. Articles in every subspecialty are discussed, with a focus on what they mean for radiology now.
Leadership Practices Fostering Wellness and Reducing Moral Distress
Moral distress is common in radiology and has been identified as a cause of burn-out. 18% of radiologists have left a position because of moral distress. In the current national staffing crisis, it is critical to put measures in place to improve retention. One of the three most common reasons for moral distress in radiologists is a perception of lack of leadership support. This course will outline proven leadership practices that reduce moral distress and improve wellness. In the following panel discussion with audience participation, radiologist will be able to share their experience and learn how to implement changes.
Revolutionizing Clinical MSK Radiology: Harnessing the Power of Machine Learning and AI
Artificial intelligence and machine learning-based approaches for increasing clinical efficiency and productivity represent the new hot topics for MSK radiology, whether it relates to image sorting, fracture detection, bone age determination, osteoarthrosis grading, or automated hip or leg-length measurements, and fast MR imaging. The session will focus on use case scenarios of such approaches for a practicing radiologist.
GU Ought to Know
The presenters will guide participants through challenging cases in genitourinary images. Via these cases, the presenters will review pitfalls that are encountered during interpretation and how to avoid them, referencing recent changes in the literature and guidelines.
Tools to Improve Radiology Workflow Now
Many quality/process improvement projects do not see the expected results in improved throughput and volume. The Theory of Constraints is a practical approach to identifying rate limiting steps and optimizing the throughput. This course will focus on how to identify rate-limiting steps and simple tools you can utilize to improve throughput through a rate limiting step.
Theranostics from Head to Toe
Theranostics integrates imaging and therapy and fits nuclear medicine perfectly. This session will provide an overview of the fundamentals of theranostics, describe the critical role of nuclear medicine for the initiation and management of therapy for neurodegenerative disease, and detail the unique role of nuclear medicine in imaging and treatment of oncology. The session will conclude with a practicum for launching a theranostics program.
