Connect an imaging research question to evidence and practical follow-up.
RSNA combines radiology education with technical exhibits. For equipment, software and service research, define a departmental workflow and preserve time for the education you intend to attend.
Aim to produce: An imaging evidence-appraisal and evaluation brief. The comparison below helps you decide what to investigate, which evidence to request and when to advance an option.
Explore the ecosystem, with context.
These figures describe the linked Lensmor event record. They are research coverage, not organizer registrations or a complete attendance total.
Research coverage does not certify registration or future attendance.
Plan education and exhibit time separately.
The meeting and Technical Exhibits have separate date scopes above. Check the selected package before relying on access to education, exhibits or recordings.
Official Meeting CentralCheck the edition and location in the organizer’s programme before selecting a session or relying on access.
Official planning resources
Source links retain their original CMS provenance. Confirm the edition, participation, access and specific resource before relying on a listing.
Four ways to test the fit
Lensmor’s suggested research framework for clinical education and scientific evaluation. These are evaluation lenses, not an organizer’s session list or confirmed exhibitor capabilities.
Learning objective
Choose a clinical or research question before selecting educational materials.
Evidence to requestThe original abstract, publication or edition-labelled session material.
Leave withA learning plan tied to a specific question.
Study design
Record population, intervention, comparator, endpoints and follow-up.
Evidence to requestThe full methods and reported limitations.
Leave withA structured evidence appraisal.
Applicability
Separate study results from relevance to a different setting or population.
Evidence to requestA comparison of study conditions and the intended context.
Leave withAn applicability note with unresolved differences.
Professional exchange
Prepare a method or implementation question rather than a request for unsupported conclusions.
Evidence to requestA focused discussion brief and the material needed to resolve it.
Leave withA follow-up reading or research plan.
Work through a concrete decision.
Illustrative exercise: An imaging team is reviewing a proposed improvement to interpretation or workflow. This is a preparation framework, not a report of an actual purchase, experiment or meeting.
Define the hard constraint
Applicability to its modality, study population and operating context.
Ask for the deciding evidence
Original research methods and a workflow demonstration with explicit limitations.
Make the next step explicit
An imaging evidence-appraisal and evaluation brief.
Turn the reading into a useful next discussion.
Keep the requirement, source material, evaluation and follow-up in one file. The worksheet below starts with this edition’s brief and leaves unverified findings blank.
- 01
Write the boundary
Write your actual operating or research context. Separate a requirement that would exclude an option from a preference you could trade off.
- 02
Find original material
Use edition-labelled organizer material to locate the original work or organization. Record the author, institution and method rather than relying on a session title.
- 03
Resolve one evidence gap
For the claim that would change your decision, save the original source, its edition, method or configuration, and the condition you still need to verify.
- 04
Assign the follow-through
Agree on a specific document, demonstration, reading task or trial. Save the responsible person and the review point so that the next discussion resolves an open question.
A comparison you can use after RSNA 2026
Keep one row per organization and specific capability or piece of research. Reuse the same decision criteria when you compare alternatives.
Pass the boundary test
Condition to resolveWrite the context, required capability and the condition that would rule an option out.
Decision ruleKeep an unresolved hard constraint out of the qualified shortlist. Record what evidence could change that decision.
Separate claim from evidence
Material to recordSave the original URL, edition, author or organization, and the method or configuration behind the statement.
Decision ruleLabel each statement as source material, a demonstrated result or your own validated observation. Save its context and limitations.
Check the next handoff
Output to agreeName the document, trial, reading task or specialist discussion that will resolve the next open question.
Decision ruleAssign a person and a specific next artifact. An interesting conversation becomes actionable when that handoff is clear.

A CSV prefilled with this research brief and the four comparison lanes. Organization, evidence, fit and follow-up fields are blank for your own research. No signup required.
Two follow-ups with a clear request
Replace the bracketed details and remove anything that does not match your context.
Ask for the original material
I am researching [specific question] using material from RSNA 2026. The constraint in our context is: Applicability to its modality, study population and operating context. Could you point me to [original paper, methods or institutional material] and clarify [one limitation or open question]?
Propose a focused research discussion
Our intended output is: An imaging evidence-appraisal and evaluation brief. We have reviewed [source material] and still need to resolve [specific question]. Would a discussion with [relevant research or institutional role] help us identify the next artifact to review?
Registration and access

Frequently asked questions
When and where is RSNA 2026?
Scientific meeting: Nov 29, 2026–Dec 3, 2026 at McCormick Place. Technical Exhibits: Nov 29, 2026–Dec 2, 2026 at McCormick Place.
What should I prepare before a research conversation?
Original research methods and a workflow demonstration with explicit limitations. Keep the method, configuration and context attached to the answer.
What should I leave with after researching RSNA 2026?
An imaging evidence-appraisal and evaluation brief. Record unresolved constraints separately from demonstrated capabilities.
Are the Lensmor figures official attendance counts?
These figures describe the linked Lensmor event record. They are research coverage, not organizer registrations or a complete attendance total. Research profiles do not certify a person’s registration, attendance or meeting availability.
