The annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the most esteemed global annual meeting, with over 60,000 international attendees, ended last week. This year, the St George’s Radiology Department led the UK in academic contribution and award recognition.
In addition to organisation and leadership roles in educational committees and sessions, numerous accepted oral and electronic presentations were made. Invited lectures were provided by our radiologists Dr R Morgan and Dr I Vlahos.

Under their consultant guidance, several radiology trainees distinguished themselves:
