Audio
Radio stations use our audio clips to bring awareness to the signs of life-threatening conditions and diseases, including stroke and various forms of cancer.
Here we provide pre-recorded 15-, 30- and 60-second public service announcements (PSAs), available in both English and Spanish. All PSAs will direct listeners to RadiologyInfo.org, where RSNA and the American College of Radiology provide information about radiologic tests, treatments and procedures that could save lives.
If you’re interested in airing more in-depth discussions about these topics, we can provide an expert for on-air or pre-recorded interviews. RSNA can also provide a list of suggested interview questions upon request.
To schedule an interview or request more information, please contact RSNA media relations at 1-630-590-7762 or email media@rsna.org.

RSNA on the Air
RSNA 60-Second Checkup: One-minute audio segments on various topics in radiology.
Virtual Colonoscopy
CT colonography, commonly referred to as virtual colonoscopy, is a minimally invasive test that provides three-dimensional images of the colon. These images are useful in detecting polyps, cancer and other lesions in the large intestine.
Virtual colonoscopy is less invasive than conventional colonoscopy. Medical experts recommend regular screenings for men and women over age 50; earlier for those at high risk.
Stroke
Stroke symptoms come on suddenly and may include numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body.
Successful treatment usually depends on emergency care given within the "magic window" of time, within three hours of stroke onset.
Prostate Cancer
There are no symptoms for early prostate cancer when it is most treatable, but it can be detected early through regular screening. Imaging tests to detect the disease include ultrasound or MRI. Regular screenings are recommended for men over 50.
Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer, and may include surgery, radiation therapy or other methods.
Ovarian Cancer
Pelvic imaging and blood tests are currently the best methods of screening for ovarian cancer. Early diagnosis is the key to successful treatment.
Breast Cancer
Women over 40 are urged to get yearly screening mammograms. Annual screenings help detect breast cancer when it is most curable.
Lung Cancer
Coughing, wheezing, hoarseness, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms that are often confused with less serious conditions. Smoking is the major risk, but even non-smokers can develop lung cancers.
As with any form of cancer, early detection is the key to survival. Lung cancer treatments may include surgery, radiation treatments, chemotherapy or one of several interventional radiology procedures. New screening methods such as CT scans are being used in clinical trials.
