A time to return
As we come to the end of 2021 – another year marked by the COVID-19 pandemic – many of us will have the opportunity to travel to Chicago for the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual scientific sessions. Many meetings in the last year were cancelled or moved to a virtual environment due to the virus and travel restrictions, but that is starting to change. While smaller meetings may benefit from an online or web-based approach, I do believe getting together face-to-face and networking with our colleagues is one of the most important aspects of these assemblies. I am personally ready to return to in-person meetings.
