2026 Massachusetts Radiological Society (MRS) Annual Meeting

2026 Massachusetts Radiological Society (MRS) Annual Meeting is organized by Massachusetts Radiological Society (MRS) and will be held on Mar 11, 2026.

CME Program Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the current cybersecurity threat landscape in healthcare and radiology, including why imaging departments are frequent and high-impact targets for ransomware and related attacks
2. Identify the typical operational phases of a cyberattack affecting radiology services, from the first 48 hours through long-term infrastructure and data recovery, and understand the clinical and operational risks associated with each phase
3. Recognize practical steps radiology practices can take to prepare for extended IT downtime, including offline workflows, communication strategies, and leadership checklists that do not require major new capital investment
4. Apply principles for safely resuming imaging operations after a cybersecurity incident, balancing pressure to restore services quickly with patient safety, data integrity, and medicolegal risk
5. Understand the emerging role of artificial intelligence in both cyber defense and cyber risk, including vulnerabilities specific to imaging systems and clinical AI tools
