Welcome to RSNA 2026!
As editor of the Daily Bulletin, I am delighted to welcome you to Chicago and RSNA 2026: At the Center of Care. This year’s theme celebrates radiology’s essential place at the heart of modern medicine—connecting patients, care teams, innovation and insight to support earlier detection, more precise diagnosis and better-informed treatment.
Throughout the week, the Daily Bulletin will help you see how that central role comes to life across McCormick Place. Our reporting will connect the meeting’s most important ideas to their impact on patients, practices and the future of the specialty.
- Breakthrough science that advances screening, diagnosis, treatment planning and patient management
- Compelling education that translates new knowledge into practical approaches for your daily work
- Technology and innovation shaping personalized, timely and efficient care
- Plenary insights on radiology’s influence in clinical collaboration, leadership and scientific discovery
- Connection and community through networking opportunities, global perspectives and memorable meeting moments
Whether you are joining us in Chicago or online, look to the Daily Bulletin as your guide to the people, discoveries and conversations moving radiology—and patient care—forward. Each issue will help you navigate the breadth of the meeting, uncover ideas beyond your planned schedule and engage more deeply with our global community.
Look for the first issue on Sunday, Nov. 29, and join us each day for a front-row view of RSNA 2026. Together, we will explore what it means for radiology to stand at the center of care—and how every advance begins with the patient in focus.
