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…
Higher denoising levels with a deep learning reconstruction algorithm progressively improved qualitative and quantitative image quality in 3D T1-weighted neonatal brain MRI, though the pilot study's small sample size (n=15) limits generalizability.
Open neural network models for vertebral body segmentation in computed tomography (CT) achieve Dice scores up to 0.962 (95% CI 0.941–0.978) for L3 and outperform existing pipelines in center localization error, externally validated in 300 oncologic cases. Labels and weights are…
The FDA has cleared UC-CARE, Ltd.'s SmartGuide Disposable Guides and Grids, a radiology device, via the 510(k) pathway. Product code ITX (Radiology panel).
The FDA has cleared GE Medical Systems' LOGIQ Focus ultrasound system via the 510(k) pathway, adding a new general-purpose imaging platform to its portfolio.
The FDA has cleared Curemetrix, Inc.'s cmAngio® V2.0 via the 510(k) pathway, classifying it as a radiology image processing system (product code QIH).
IMGFAX Co., Ltd. received FDA 510(k) clearance for its handheld ultrasound scanner, a general-purpose diagnostic imaging device.
U.S. FDA clears Philips’ dS Breast and Sentinelle breast MRI coils (7- and 16-channel) via 510(k) for clinical imaging with 1.5T and 3.0T scanners.
A small set of four clinical and radiographic features predicted ICU mortality with an AUC of 0.96 (accuracy 0.82), matching a 74-feature radiomic model. Cobb angle, bilateral infiltrates, and pleural effusions were identified as consistent, robust predictors.
A systematic review of 32 studies finds AI, mostly convolutional neural networks on panoramic X-rays, shows promising but variable performance for third molar detection, segmentation, classification, and surgical difficulty prediction; external validation is lacking.
Insurance coverage mandates nearly double the odds of supplemental ultrasound after screening mammography in women with dense breasts, while notification laws alone yield modest increases, a study of 12.6 million women finds.
Interventional radiologists may benefit from dedicated MRI safety guidelines.

Advances in AI-enabled imaging may transform incidental osteoporosis findings into formally justified clinical referrals, shifting from opportunistic to diagnostic use on CT and other modalities.
A cross-sectional review assessed PCCP adoption and documentation completeness in FDA-cleared radiology AI/ML devices, using an 8-point rubric with high inter-rater reliability (ICC 0.93).
In 1591 peripheral lung lesions, CEUS-guided biopsy improved sampling, accuracy, sensitivity vs non-contrast US, especially for 3.1–5.0 cm lesions. Malignancy risk highest for atypical epithelia.
DECT iodine concentration entropy with hybrid-IR (AUC 0.94) or DLIR-M (AUC 0.91) detects chemo response in PDAC, outperforming DLIR-H (AUC 0.85, P=.02-.04).
Hybrid AI model estimated age from panoramic radiographs: overall MAE 6.52 years, but in the 31–35 age group, MAE was 0.29 years (male) and 0.16 years (female). Performance degraded in other age ranges.
