Only one-third of patients received osteoporosis medication after vertebral augmentation. The incidence of new vertebral fractures fell from 0.519 to 0.076 per person-year after starting medical management (incidence rate ratio 6.79, 95% CI 3.37-15.51), a 6-fold decreased risk.
Percutaneous MWA of T1 RCC showed 76% 10-year overall survival, 85% cancer-specific survival, and 83% local progression-free survival, with stable renal function and low complications.
Integrated model combining emphysema, Pi10, airway branch count, and clinical data detected undiagnosed COPD with AUC 0.83 (95% CI 0.80-0.86) in 5,014 lung screening participants, up from 0.69 for emphysema alone, reducing confirmatory spirometry referrals from 41% to 34%.
FAPI PET/CT showed 93.0% sensitivity vs 76.5% for FDG (p=0.002) in 176 patients with suspected HPB cancers. Nodal accuracy was 86.8% vs 71.1%. Dual-tracer approach did not improve accuracy. Prospective validation needed.

Intraosseous pneumatocysts are benign gas-filled cystic lesions of bone, most often found incidentally in the sacrum and ilium adjacent to sacroiliac joints. They require no treatment. (exact prevalence not reported in source)
LearningRadiology.com, a new online radiology education resource, has launched. Details on content and scope are not yet available.
A new radiology education blog, LearningRadiology, has launched, offering a resource for radiology trainees and clinicians to learn imaging interpretation. Specific content and authors are not yet detailed in the source.
A teaching file review of pulmonic stenosis covers the imaging findings, including post-stenotic dilatation of the main pulmonary artery, right ventricular hypertrophy, and the characteristic angiographic appearance.
Eurorad teaching case demonstrates the CT appearance of jejunal ascariasis, showing a tubular, non-enhancing worm within the small bowel lumen. Recognition of this characteristic finding aids in diagnosing Ascaris lumbricoides infection.
LearningRadiology reviews the neonatal chest radiograph findings of meconium aspiration syndrome: hyperinflation, coarse interstitial opacities, and pneumothorax. A must-know for call and NICU interpretation.

LearningRadiology, a popular radiology education website, has published new content.
LearningRadiology shares a case of Mycoplasma pneumonia, depicting typical radiographic findings of this atypical infection, including reticulonodular opacities and patchy consolidation often out of proportion to clinical symptoms.
The signet ring sign on CT—a dilated bronchus adjacent to its pulmonary artery—indicates bronchiectasis. Recognizing this classic sign helps avoid missed diagnosis.
Varicella pneumonia typically manifests as diffuse, bilateral 5-10 mm ill-defined nodular opacities on chest radiographs. Nodules may coalesce and often resolve after clinical improvement, but can calcify, leaving numerous well-defined 2-3 mm calcified nodules primarily in the l…
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency causes panlobular emphysema with lower-lobe predominance and often bronchiectasis. On CT, look for basal emphysema, sometimes with associated liver disease. Recognize this pattern to suggest genetic testing early.
LearningRadiology post reviews multisystem imaging manifestations of lupus erythematosus, from thoracic to musculoskeletal findings.
This LearningRadiology chest case highlights the 'finger-in-glove' sign, a classic radiographic appearance of mucoid impaction in central bronchi, commonly caused by allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Recognition is key to prompt diagnosis and management.
A curated collection of named radiologic signs has been published by LearningRadiology, covering classic imaging findings across multiple organ systems and modalities.
This Eurorad teaching case illustrates the classic neuroimaging findings of olivopontocerebellar atrophy, a form of multiple system atrophy (MSA-C), characterized by prominent atrophy of the pons, middle cerebellar peduncles, and cerebellum on MRI.
Cavitating mesenteric lymph node syndrome is a rare but severe complication of celiac disease characterized on CT by cystic, low-attenuation mesenteric nodes with fatty-fluid levels—a finding that should prompt urgent workup for refractory celiac disease or evolving lymphoma.
Radiology Assistant reviews the key chest radiograph findings of heart failure, including cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema, pleural effusions, and Kerley B lines.
