ASFNR Issues Imaging Framework for Posterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke

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.

ACR Appropriateness Criteria for imaging surveillance of indolent lung cancer

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…

PET Beyond FDG for Brain Tumors: SSTR, Amino Acid, and Emerging Tracers

Beyond FDG, somatostatin receptor PET (e.g., DOTATATE) offers high contrast for meningioma radiotherapy planning and patient selection for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. Amino acid PET aids in distinguishing glioma progression from treatment-related change, improving res…

Imaging's Role in Screening for Fibrosis in MASLD

MASLD affects 40% of the global population. Professional guidelines recommend screening high-risk adults with blood tests first, then noninvasive imaging to detect clinically significant fibrosis and guide management.

AI-assisted pediatric fracture detection in the ED: small, non-significant reduction in diagnostic revisions and patient recalls

AI-assisted fracture detection in a pediatric emergency setting reduced diagnostic revisions from 8.6% to 5.7% (RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.37–1.19), but the reduction was not statistically significant. No improvement in therapeutic changes, length of stay, or diagnostic confidence.

Automated 3D fetal brain volumes show strong correlation with clinical 2D linear measurements

In 70 clinical fetal MRIs, automated slice-to-volume reconstruction with brain segmentation took 8.6 minutes and was rated "good" in 70% of cases. Derived supratentorial, cerebellar, and brainstem volumes strongly correlated with traditional 2D linear measurements (r=0.88–0.94),…

Distal vessel occlusions often missed on CTA; Tmax maps and AI may help

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) often fails to detect distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs), but time-to-maximum (Tmax) perfusion maps show significantly higher sensitivity, and emerging AI tools may aid diagnosis.

Endothelial Cell Growth Varies Across Metals Used in Aneurysm Devices

In vitro, endothelial cell proliferation on metals used in flow diverters and coils differed: nitinol, stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium supported growth (p<0.001), while platinum and cobalt did not. Smooth muscle cell proliferation was limited. Caution: static conditions.

Staged Pretraining and Implicit Gridding Enable Fast 3D MR Fingerprinting

SPUR-iG, a deep unrolled reconstruction, yielded whole-brain 3D MR fingerprinting in under 15 seconds (111× speedup) and achieved T1 accuracy from 30-second scans matching that from 2-minute conventional scans.
