Several hundred of the leading radiologists of this country were present and actively participated in its deliberations. The scientific sessions were well attended and liberal discussions followed many of the papers read. Of special significance was the interest manifested by the members at the Executive Sessions. This denoted a most healthy condition and perhaps accounts for the Society now being larger and stronger than ever before.The afternoon clinics were unusually well attended, so much so that there were many who could not participate on account of the rooms being overcrowded. It may be well in the future for the Clinic Committee to keep this in mind and to make provision for larger rooms. There were eleven clinics held, each by an experienced radiologist who by his knowledge of the subject under consideration was able to impart to the audience valuable radiological information.One cannot say too much in regard to the high order of the scientific program. It contained enough variety to satisfy the scientific appetite of those of different tastes. The program contained 58 papers and 125 of those in attendance at the meeting participated in the program.Among the high lights of the meeting was Carman Night. Dr. Thomas A. Burcham, President of the Society, presided. He introduced Dr. Charles J. McDevitt, President of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine, who on behalf of the Academy extended to the Radiological Society of North America a most hearty welcome to Cincinnati. The Carman Lecture was delivered this year by one of America's foremost radiologists, Dr. James T. Case, who chose for his subject “The Field of Roentgenology in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Colonic Disorders.” His splendid address was enthusiastically received and will be remembered by his listeners for a very long time, as one of the most interesting and instructive lectures of its kind ever heard.The Scientific Exhibit Committee deserve commendation for the orderly arrangement of the scientific exhibit. The room was spacious, with wide aisles between the cases and view boxes, making it easy and comfortable to move among the various exhibits. The view boxes, on the whole, were well illuminated, and each exhibit was clearly marked with the name of the exhibitors and an explanation of the type and kind of exhibit shown. To attempt to describe at length the scientific value of each would be too space-consuming. A day spent in a study of the various exhibits shown would profit any radiologist and could in effect serve as a sort of post-graduate education. It could well be named the Hall of Knowledge, for truly it represented the most modern progress and achievement of radiology.Article HistoryPublished in print: Dec 1936 FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsRecommended Articles RSNA Education Exhibits RSNA Case Collection Vol. 27, No. 6 Metrics Altmetric Score PDF download
