Registrations for the world’s largest medical imaging conference are down almost 56% when compared to
final tallies from the last in-person iteration, organizers revealed Monday.
The Radiological
Society of North America expects about 19,000 attendees at its 107th annual scientific assembly, which
kicks off Sunday, Nov. 28, in Chicago. Another 4,000 have registered to attend virtually, for a total of
23,000.
COVID-19 forced Oak Brook, Illinois-based RSNA to shelve the in-person portion of its
conference in 2020, marking the first such cancellation since World War 2. Prior to the pandemic, 51,800
individuals registered for the 2019 version, more than double this year’s current total. Organizers
indicated in September that they expected the numbers to dip, due to ongoing uncertainty and international
travel restrictions. RSNA is also requiring attendees to provide proof of vaccination and wear masks while
visiting the convention center.
