“I am honored and excited to be named the editor of the RSNA Case Collection, a key initiative to create a comprehensive online resource of clinical cases for the practicing radiologists,” Dr. Moshiri said. “In this era of progressive electronic education and communication, RSNA continues to be an indispensable resource for its membership and remains in the forefront of technology and education.

Led by experts and developed as a cooperative effort among the radiology community, the RSNA Case Collection provides a valuable resource that further enhances the professional development of radiologists and the industry as a whole. It is the first of its kind to be developed exclusively for the radiology environment. The Collection’s cases provide a curated and trusted resource that aids in diagnoses, even in the most difficult cases.

The Case Collection will begin accepting submissions in January. Each submission will be peer reviewed and vetted by RSNA before being added to the online platform. The complimentary, easy-to-use platform organizes cases by subspecialty, putting the most relevant cases first.
