CTisus presents a case of Erdheim-Chester Disease, illustrating the symmetric diaphyseal osteosclerosis and perinephric infiltration that are key to recognizing this rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis on imaging.
The ACR has issued its 2026 update to Appropriateness Criteria for myelopathy, providing evidence-based imaging guidance for acute, chronic, and vascular causes of spinal cord dysfunction to help differentiate extrinsic from intrinsic pathology.
A correction has been published for the review on high-resolution 3-T MRI of finger anatomy and tendon/ligament injuries. Specifics of the correction are not detailed in the journal abstract.
The June 2026 AJR issue highlights an AI model predicting future breast cancer from normal mammograms, an AI tool showing high accuracy for fracture detection on radiographs, and new data supporting contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for characterizing O-RADS indeterminate ovar…
Deep learning reconstruction enables rapid musculoskeletal MRI sequences to achieve diagnostic quality comparable to standard acquisitions, reducing scan times without sacrificing image quality (quantitative details not provided in source).
Histotripsy is a needle-free, non-thermal focused ultrasound technique for tumor ablation, but a review finds its clinical evidence is limited to early feasibility studies. Robust trials demonstrating oncologic efficacy (such as local tumor progression-free survival) versus esta…
New AJR article proposes an 'intestinal stroke' pathway to standardize and expedite the radiologist's role in diagnosing mesenteric ischemia, emphasizing early CT interpretation and structured reporting.
Across >3 million multicenter emergency department encounters, overall ED neuroimaging utilization doubled from 2016 to 2025. Head CT without contrast remained dominant, but CT perfusion use rose >5-fold over the same period, signaling a marked shift in acute stroke workup inten…
No FDA-approved PSMA-targeted PET radiopharmaceutical ([68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11, [18F]DCFPyl, [18F]rhPSMA-7.3) has proven diagnostic superiority for prostate cancer imaging; they differ in clearance routes (renal vs hepatic) and supply logistics, so choice should be guided by operationa…
This AJR podcast episode distills strategies for early-career radiologists considering career pivots, offering mindset shifts and actionable frameworks. Based on expert perspective, not empirical data.
In a retrospective study of 740 CT/PET-CTs, three commercial AI lung nodule tools detected similar actionable nodules (p=0.73). However, small measurement variations led to significantly more BTS 1-year follow-ups for one tool (p<0.001 vs. another). Fleischner guidelines were mo…
