Abstract
Professional use of social media continues to increase. We analyzed Twitter use of our own American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) 2018 annual meeting, reviewing all Twitter posts (3020 tweets from 523 participants) containing the hashtag #ASNR18 from May 21, 2018, to June 12, 2018, extracting the transcripts from Symplur. Then, each tweet was categorized by the role of user, type of tweet, and topic. The dominant user category was neuroradiologist/radiologist (63%). The keynote address, "The Radiology Renaissance: Shaping the Future of Healthcare," presented by Andy DeLao @Cancergeek was the most frequently tweeted topic (10%). Comment on a session was the major type of tweet. When we compared the data with a similar analysis in 2014, our data analysis showed a growth in the use of Twitter in only 4 years.
