New York Roentgen Society

What New York Roentgen Society does

The New York Roentgen Society (NYRS) is a non-profit professional medical society founded in 1912 that serves radiologists, radiation oncologists, physicists, and allied professionals within roughly a 150-mile radius of New York City. With more than 1,200 members, NYRS functions as the regional chapter of the New York State Radiological Society (NYSRS) and is affiliated with the American College of Radiology (ACR). Its membership base is drawn from every major New York academic medical center, including Weill Cornell, Columbia, NYU, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Mount Sinai, and Montefiore. The society has no proprietary technology platform; its digital footprint is limited to a member website and social media channels used to publicize programming and accept dues and event registrations.

NYRS delivers value through an annual scientific meeting with named honorary lectureships (Hickey, Haenisch, Cole, Henny, Glauner), subspecialty sections for Interventional Radiology and Radiation Oncology that host bi-monthly seminars, the online CERC Core Exam Review Course for residents preparing for board certification, and an awards program including the Distinguished Radiologist Award. The society also holds honorary memberships tied to descendants of Wilhelm Röntgen and Marie Curie, reflecting its institutional legacy.

The business model rests on tiered membership dues ($295/year for active members, $75/year for residents and fellows), registration fees for in-person and hybrid events, fees for educational courses such as the CERC review, and corporate sponsorships (notably ScreenPoint Medical for its Transpara Breast AI). There is no proprietary AI or ML development; AI-related activity is limited to vendor sponsorship and educational programming that discusses AI applications in radiology.
