AI-designed peptide PET tracer [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TR23 shows nanomolar affinity (KD=26.8 nM) for TROP-2, with rapid, specific tumor uptake and high contrast in pancreatic, prostate, and thyroid cancer mouse models.
In a retrospective study of 492 posttreatment glioma MRI exams, an automated AI system achieved 76.0% accuracy for Brain Tumor Reporting and Data System (BT-RADS) scoring, compared with 57.5% for initial assessments (absolute improvement +18.5 percentage points, P<.001).
A 14-item TRAM-AI checklist for verifying medical imaging dataset accessibility for AI was developed via Delphi consensus. In pilot testing of 10 datasets, compliance was 10% for archive validation and 30% for partition keys, highlighting gaps in functional usability.
A deep learning model detected LVEF ≤40% on chest X-rays with AUC 0.92-0.97 in checkup cohorts, enriching baseline prevalence 37-87-fold, and could reduce echocardiography volume up to 85% without missing cases.

Automated MRI muscle fat fraction quantification in CMT1A correlates with disease severity and functional impairment, with anterior compartment FF showing moderate correlations with stair climb time (r=0.68) and 6-min walk distance (r=-0.66).
ACR Lung-RADS continues to evolve, with latest updates addressing volumetric vs. diameter measurement, sub-solid nodule management, Category 0 for infectious findings, and a new Atlas. Future directions include AI integration and risk-based approaches to refine lung cancer scree…
48.1% of 156 CT workflow data properties were directly available in structured form in clinical data systems; 33.3% required standardization, 11.5% were not readily available, indicating partial support for an operational radiology ontology.
Only one of thirteen studies on regulator-cleared AI for acute stroke CT reported subgroup performance, showing lower PPV for female vs male (67.3% vs 72.7%, p=0.02) and Black vs non-Black patients (66.7% vs 73.2%, p=0.005).
A combined chest X-ray radiomics and clinical model identified preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) with AUC 0.759 (95% CI 0.658–0.854) in external validation, outperforming radiomics-alone (AUC 0.618) and clinical-alone (AUC 0.655) models (p<0.001).
A multiparametric MRI deep learning radiomics model predicted axillary pathological complete response in cN+ breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemo with AUC 0.949 (training, 95% CI 0.912-0.986) and 0.932 (validation, 95% CI 0.867-0.998). Could help select patients for axillary de…
FeTal-SAM adapted SAM with atlas-based prompts for fetal brain MRI segmentation. On two datasets, Dice scores matched dataset-specific baselines for well-contrasted structures (cortical plate, cerebellum) but were lower for subtle structures like hippocampus. The method segments…
Optimizing learning for control of human-machine interfaces.
AI large language models and gamified learning tools show promise for personalizing breast imaging training and boosting engagement, potentially addressing knowledge gaps from limited workstation teaching and differing case exposure among trainees.
Vision-Enabled Large Language Models in Mammography: From Benchmarking to Clinical Accountability.
Sonic DL reduced nominal acquisition time by 38.7% (6:15 vs 10:12 min:s) vs AIR Recon DL in shoulder MRI, but subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis and supraspinatus tears were detected less often (P=0.049, P=0.006) in a pilot of 30 patients.
In 141 prostate MRI lesions, a model combining synthetic MRI T1, T2, and ADC showed AUC 0.947 in the peripheral zone and 0.961 in the transition zone, vs PI-RADS v2.1 AUC 0.799 and 0.803 (P=0.002, P=0.013).
