Our top story this week was the announcement of the winners of the 2025 edition of the Minnies, our annual awards program recognizing excellence in radiology. This year, issues impacting the radiology workforce and theranostics featured prominently. Make sure to check out the full article.
Also this week, we began rolling out our yearly Road to RSNA coverage, which previews research and themes to be highlighted at the upcoming meeting in Chicago. Take a look at the AI Preview, the MRI Preview, and the Women's Imaging Preview -- and keep your eyes peeled for the Digital X-Ray and CT previews early next week.
