RSNA 2009 Program - radRounds Guide to Finding Courses and Exhibits in Chicago

(CHICAGO) -- Every year, the RSNA puts up the largest medical conference in the world. With such a vast number of exhibits, abstracts, courses, and lectures, how does one approach the RSNA? Gone are the days of lugging around the thousand page program guide. RSNA has made significant advances in their website. Their website is evolving yearly to make browsing the RSNA program easier and easier. This year's online RSNA program is probably the best we have seen.
