RSNA is short for the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. This year was its 96th Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting. A long-time attendee (the late CEO of Hologic) once told me that the reason it’s held Thanksgiving weekend in Chicago is because it was started as the Midwest society meeting. It allowed all the radiologists’ wives to do their holiday shopping on Michigan Avenue, the “Magnificent Mile”. I’m sure everyone loves flying in to one of the country’s busiest airports on one of the most-traveled days of the year, but there you have it. I, for one, am glad I can take the train!
