ASFNR clinical state-of-practice: For posterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke, use noncontrast CT to exclude hemorrhage, CT angiography to identify occlusion, and MRI with DWI as reference standard. Imaging scores like PC-ASPECTS help select patients for thrombectomy.
The ACR Appropriateness Criteria 2026 update provides imaging guidelines for suspected or confirmed diffuse lung disease, covering initial evaluation, acute exacerbation, and surveillance.
New expert consensus framework for symptomatic B3 breast lesions: assess concordance, lower excision threshold for discordant/palpable lesions, conservative management for concordant non-atypical lesions, and risk-based surveillance for atypia.
ACR Appropriateness Criteria for indolent lung cancer: For patients with slow-growing subsolid nodules or atypical cysts where surveillance is chosen over intervention, imaging follow-up aims to detect changes that alter management, with modality selection guided by accuracy and…
Luskin Orthopaedic Institute for Children expects a new 3T MRI to slash pediatric orthopedic wait times from 2.5 months to just 2.5 days, improving access to radiation-free imaging for over 60,000 annual visits.

RadNet tops the list with 383 outpatient imaging centers, according to a Definitive Healthcare analysis of over 22,000 centers, though the company’s count has since grown to 440 amid rapid consolidation.
A fuzzy-neural framework with entropy-guided feature selection classified multi-disease chest X-rays with accuracy up to 0.9859 and F1-score up to 0.9889 at ×20 magnification, outperforming standard CNNs by 3.5–8.6% in accuracy.
A CT-based age estimation model using permanent maxillary canine measurements achieved RMSE 1.29 years (R² 0.89) for ages 1-16 years in a Japanese cohort; longitudinal validation showed mean difference of 0.12 years (1.4 months) between predicted and chronological age.
A review highlights biomarkers—MED12 mutation, Ki-67, radiomics—that may aid in differentiating breast fibroadenomas from phyllodes tumors and cancer, and in assessing malignant transformation risk.
A physician assistant student shares how point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) education in the didactic phase reinforced clinical medicine knowledge and bedside decision-making, and influenced career interest in acute care.
Scoping review of 45 radiology RAG studies: most showed performance gains over non-retrieval baselines, but evaluation relied on automated metrics, safety and bias were rarely assessed, and clinical readiness is likely overestimated.
Author Correction: Sleep chart of biological ageing clocks in middle and late life.
A review of 17 studies finds deep learning, especially EfficientNet models, can automate canine vertebral heart score (VHS) estimation from thoracic radiographs, potentially reducing observer variability and aiding veterinary assessment of cardiac enlargement.
Capturing the Clinician-Artificial Intelligence Interaction: A Missing Prerequisite for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence.
Review of stress fractures: from fatigue and insufficiency injuries to spondylolysis and atypical femur fractures. Future directions include zero echo time MRI and deep learning-based CT for early osteoporosis detection.
In 902 men with PI-RADS 3 MRI lesions, a targeted-only biopsy strategy missed 6.5% (95% CI 5.0-8.4) of clinically significant prostate cancers found by combined targeted and systematic sampling. The omission cost fell to just 0.8% in men with PSA density <0.10 ng/mL/cm3 undergoi…
In a safety-net breast biopsy cohort, 69.5% of patients preferred delayed release of results until after speaking with a provider. Hispanic/Latino patients (AOR 2.02) and those with non-English preferred language (AOR 2.82) were more likely to defer, while MRI-guided biopsy pati…
Cybersecurity in Radiology: PACS Vulnerability and the Asymmetric Warfare Threat.
A dedicated neuro-optical coherence tomography (nOCT) system, adapted from cardiology, provides high-resolution 3D visualization of intracranial vessels for aneurysm treatment; this video demonstrates standardized acquisition and interpretation techniques for clinical integratio…
In MCA stroke thrombectomy requiring angioplasty/stenting, cangrelor vs GPI showed lower major bleeding (15.3% vs 26.5%; HR 0.53) but higher recurrent stroke (32.7% vs 11.2%; HR 2.57). Overall, no significant differences in bleeding or ICH.
The ARISE II multidisciplinary consensus supports venous sinus stenting (VSS) as a safe and effective therapy for appropriately selected patients with venous sinus stenosis, standardizing patient selection, diagnostic evaluation, procedure, and follow-up.
In 809 thyroid nodules, ACR TI-RADS showed higher specificity (73.77% vs 35.74%) and accuracy (76.14% vs 46.35%) than EU-TI-RADS. EU-TI-RADS was slightly more sensitive (90.45% vs 85.99%). ACR's higher specificity suggests it can reduce unnecessary FNA biopsies.
