Well, I’m getting ready to bid Chicago a fond farewell for another year. But what a great RSNA! I got to sit in on some amazing sessions, check out some fascinating new technology, eat out at exquisite restaurants, speak more French than I have in years and check out the Redhead Piano Bar. I also had my first-ever lunch in the RSNA Bistro courtesy of the RSNA Twitter Team, who picked one of my tweets as their “top tweet” on Tuesday and bestowed me with a free ticket as a prize! (Shameless plug: follow us on Twitter too at twitter.com/imagingbiz.) I think the most interesting new technology I saw was cloud computing, which has the potential to totally disrupt the informatics side of the industry. And my favorite session was Dr. Paramjit Chopra’s reality check for rads.
