Prof. Bisset is an active member of many radiological societies, including the American College of Radiologists and the Society for Pediatric Radiology. He is a long-time member of the Radiological Society of North America and is the immediate past president of the society. In 2012, as RSNA President, he strengthened the society’s focus on patient care, choosing ‘patients first’ as the theme of the society’s most recent congress.
