The subsidiary will partner with startups and industry to accelerate new imaging technologies, including AI.
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) has announced the launch of RSNA Ventures, a new subsidiary created to identify and advance innovation in radiology and medical imaging technologies.
According to the announcement, RSNA Ventures is designed to support early-stage ideas and partnerships. The initiative will operate independently or through collaborations with startups, academic institutions, industry leaders, and investors to develop new technologies, leverage artificial intelligence, address barriers in care delivery, and make strategic investments intended to improve patient care.
“By creating a dedicated vehicle for innovation, we can explore forward-thinking solutions to meet the evolving needs of radiologists, while reinvesting in and maintaining our commitment to RSNA’s core mission,” says Mark G Watson, RSNA executive director, in a release.
The new entity is intended to combine the organization’s industry expertise with a more agile, startup-focused approach.
“We see RSNA Ventures as a launchpad—not just for new ideas, but for meaningful impact,” says Jeffrey S Klein, MD, RSNA chair, in a release. “By combining RSNA’s expertise, credibility, and reach with the agility of a startup-minded approach, we’re uniquely positioned to drive innovation that matters.”
RSNA Ventures is seeking collaborations with potential partners and will be featured at the upcoming RSNA annual meeting, RSNA 2025: Imaging the Individual, which will be held from Nov 30 to Dec 4 in Chicago.
