FDA Awards $1.29M to Rad Partners to Test 'LLMs as a Jury' for AI Radiology Reports
Rad Partners' Cognita Imaging received a $1.29M FDA grant to test an 'LLMs as a jury' framework for evaluating AI-generated radiology reports. The 18-month project applies the method to ~1 million exams, with radiologists reviewing discordant cases to identify failure modes.

Middle Meningeal Artery Embolization as Targeted Adjunct for Chronic Subdural Hematoma in the Elderly
MMAE is a promising mechanism-targeted adjunct for selected high-risk chronic subdural hematoma patients, not a universal replacement for surgery. cSDH is now understood as a vascular-inflammatory disease, with incidence rising steeply in super-aged societies.

E&M Services and IR Specialization Tied to Higher Procedural Complexity
Radiologist IR specialization most strongly predicted higher procedural complexity (OR 74.74; 95% CI 65.81–84.89). Each additional E&M wRVU was associated with 0.14 more procedural wRVUs (P=.045).

Photon-Counting CT Advances Head and Neck Imaging with Spectral and Dose Benefits
Photon-counting CT improves head and neck imaging over energy-integrating CT: higher spatial resolution, less noise and metal artifact, lower radiation and contrast doses, and spectral reconstructions may enhance lesion detection, tissue characterization, and assessment around d…

Deep learning algorithm detects in-stent restenosis on CT angiography with higher sensitivity than radiologists
For detecting significant in-stent restenosis on coronary CT angiography, a deep learning algorithm achieved 75.4% sensitivity versus 43.9% and 56.1% for two radiologists, while maintaining similar overall accuracy (87.8%).

Combined MRI radiomics and clinical model predicts spine/pelvis chordoma recurrence with test AUC 0.897
In 135 patients with spine/pelvis chordoma, an MRI radiomics model predicted recurrence with test AUC 0.847; adding age, tumor size, and resection mode lifted test AUC to 0.897 vs 0.700 for clinical factors alone.
