2026 MRS Annual Meeting

 

Cybersecurity Incidents in Radiology:  Practical Preparedness, Response, and Recovery

Wednesday, March 11, 2026
6:30pm-8:30pm
Online Virtual Meeting

Featured Speaker: Po-Hao “Howard” Chen, MD, MBA, Chair, ACR-SIIM Data Science Summit, Chair, SIIM Cybersecurity Subcommittee, Vice Chair for Artificial Intelligence, Cleveland Clinic Diagnostics Institute Associate Professor of Radiology, CCLCM at Case Western Reserve University Staff, Musculoskeletal Imaging, Cleveland Clinic Enterprise Imaging Services

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
