“These are independent researchers, doctors, scientists from across the country, who have been appointed with the task of looking at the hard science and then giving the government and industry recommendations.

— Nancy Snyderman, MD, an NBC medical correspondent speaking on the Today show |

Everyone wants to know and RSNA puts out an estimate during the show. About one month later, the attendance mystery is solved when the audited attendance numbers surface. It happened again this year. More than 56,800 people were registered for RSNA 2009, including 26,363 professional attendees. Each number represents a 4% drop from 2008.
