Microbot Medical reported over 100% revenue growth in the second quarter compared with the same period last year, according to the company's financial update.
Cleerly will debut customizable full-text reporting for its cardiac CT analysis platform at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) 2026 meeting. The feature aims to tailor reports to physician preferences, but no clinical validation data was announced.
New PACS viewer targets radiology workflow productivity; claimed efficiency gains have not been independently validated.
VB Spine has purchased a CT-to-fluoroscopy technology that generates real-time fluoroscopy-like views from preoperative CT, aiming to improve spinal navigation accuracy. Terms and clinical validation data were not disclosed in the announcement.
AI in radiology is advancing with multimodal models and regulatory progress, but real-world adoption lags due to validation gaps, workflow integration issues, and reimbursement uncertainty (exact figures not reported in source).
A musculoskeletal radiologist job opening in Hollywood, Florida, includes a $50,000 sign-on bonus, relocation and retention bonuses, and a flexible onsite, hybrid, or remote schedule.
Job opening: Day Body/MRI Radiologist with academic role and partnership track in Tampa Bay, Florida. Listed on ACR Career Center.

A remote evening general radiologist position with a $50,000 signing bonus and a 7-on/14-off schedule is available on the ACR Career Center.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is the first to use intraoperative PET-CT during breast cancer surgery, a technique that could improve real-time surgical guidance.
RADPAC, the ACR's political action committee, launched a teleradiology advocacy subcommittee led by breast radiologist Kimberly Beavers, MD. The group will champion policies that support remote radiology practice.
Experts call for integrating breast cancer screening into lung cancer screening programs to reduce disparities and improve early detection, according to a commentary in JACR.
Attempted murder charges against radiologist Dharmesh Patel, MD, were dismissed on July 6 following his completion of a two-year court-ordered mental health diversion program. He was accused of driving his family off a cliff.
Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) is a viable alternative to handheld ultrasound, potentially compensating for operator-dependence issues. It offers comparable diagnostic imaging quality for breast evaluation (exact figures not reported in source).
In a retrospective study of 3,200 patients, DeepKneeXR localized knees with mAP 0.995 but provided only moderate probabilities for meniscal tears, MCL injuries, and joint effusion on AP radiographs; external validation needed.
A combined delta-radiomics model using unenhanced and arterial-phase CT predicted bladder cancer recurrence with AUCs of 0.86 in both training and validation cohorts (retrospective, single-center). High radiomics scores linked to shorter recurrence-free survival.
An Xception-based U-Net with data augmentation and preprocessing achieved a Dice coefficient of 0.9517 for dental caries segmentation on panoramic radiographs, outperforming standard U-Net (Dice 0.7380) and models without augmentation, which failed dramatically (Dice as low as 0…
