Emory at RSNA 2019

** Scroll down to see Emory's RSNA schedule **

Every year, radiologists near and far gather at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. From posters to educational exhibits, presentations to courses, the Emory University School of Medicine's Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences is heavily present to share our research and impact with our colleagues from around the world.

Follow us on our official Twitter and Instagram accounts to see our coverage live from Chicago and feel free to tag us in your photos and videos using #EmoryRSNA19.

Please contact Mohsina Yusuf (mohsinayusuf@emory.edu) if you don't see your name on the list below or if you have any questions or suggestions regarding the CCS team's coverage of RSNA.
