The Radiological Society of North America (#RSNA15) conference has been underway in Chicago, and among product releases and other announcements, some trends are clearly surfacing. Here’s a quick update, from afar, on what those in radiology innovation are discussing this week:
– Artificial intelligence an obvious focus: Dr. Paul Chang of the University of Chicago offered his thoughts on AI, the future of radiology and how it could be best implemented. Watch here.
– New radiology technologies, such as analytics, cloud and 3D printing are the future in the field, according to radiology IT expert Rasu Shrestha, M.D., chief innovation officer at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.

– Analyst Andrew Rebhan from market research and consulting firm IHS Medical Technology talked about the current hot trends in healthcare IT for radiology.
– Philips VesselNavigator provided a 3D roadmap overlay on a live X-ray image.
– Siemens shared its Digital Breast Tomosynthesis technology that is designed to display 3D volumes of the breast for more reliable diagnoses, regardless of tissue density.
