In a retrospective 243-patient cohort of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, an AI fusion of bone marrow cytomorphology and PET/CT improved the C-index for progression-free survival prediction from 0.58 to 0.75, and the AUC for daratumumab response from 0.55 to 0.81 (both p<0.001).
AI performance approximates or exceeds radiologists in chest and breast screening, but poor implementation may increase burnout; patients prefer AI-augmented over autonomous diagnosis.
Adding ADC histogram parameters and CA-125 to O-RADS MRI improved AUC from 0.915 to 0.956 for classifying adnexal lesions in a retrospective study of 235 lesions.
Opportunistic screening of routine CT exams (e.g., abdominal scans) identifies previously unreported vertebral fractures, flagging patients for osteoporosis workup and potential treatment.
OU Health has named a new chair for its radiological sciences department, as reported by AuntMinnie. Details of the appointment were not immediately available.
Hologic recalled its Brevera 9G breast biopsy needles in January due to risk of metallic particle shedding in tissue and is now boosting production of an alternative biopsy needle to address the shortage.
AI-driven innovations in mammogram risk scoring show promise for predicting future breast cancer, according to a news report in Applied Radiology. Specific performance metrics are not provided in the source.
A review highlights chest imaging findings of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome—interstitial edema and pleural effusions—and outlines infection control steps for radiology departments.
DeepHealth has expanded its breast imaging AI platform with additional advanced features, though specific capabilities were not detailed in the announcement.
Tracking how a woman's AI risk score increases between two screening mammograms predicts future breast cancer better than the most recent score alone. Women with the fastest score rises had a significantly higher risk. If prospective data confirm this, the velocity metric could…
A study reports that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enhance prostate cancer detection (exact figures not reported in source).
The European Society of Radiology's SOLACE Project has released public-facing videos promoting low-dose CT lung cancer screening, emphasizing that early-stage detection — before symptoms appear — improves treatment outcomes.
A Maine jury awarded $23M — reportedly the largest non-death malpractice verdict in state history — against Northern Light Health after a radiologist failed to identify a spinal cord injury on CT. Case underscores high-stakes liability in emergency spine imaging.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed SB 1165 on June 19, requiring insurers to cover follow-up breast imaging. The law adds Arizona to a growing list of states mandating coverage for supplemental screening in women with dense breast tissue or abnormal findings.
Retired radiologist Janet H. Sung, MD, has donated $1 million to the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, honoring her late husband.
A radiology group has launched a high school outreach program combining in-person observational rotations with virtual sessions to expose students to the full interventional radiology patient care cycle, from consultation to follow-up.
In 82,957 women with negative screening mammograms (Kaiser Permanente cohort), combining Mirai AI, a 313-SNP polygenic score, and BCSCv3 clinical risk reached C-index 0.70 (95% CI 0.69–0.71) vs 0.66, 0.62, and 0.61 for each alone — supporting integrated risk-stratified screening.
In the LUMIR challenge, deep learning registration methods outperformed optimization-based approaches on 590 test brain MRIs, producing robust, diffeomorphic deformations that generalized to unseen diseases, protocols, and species in zero-shot tasks.
SIR's new Clinical Care Recommendation framework pairs recommendation strength (Strong, Moderate, Limited, No Benefit, Potential Harm) with GRADE certainty for clearer interventional radiology guideline interpretation.
Non-DCE MRI O-RADS score has excellent inter-rater agreement (κ=0.90) and high PPV for adnexal masses; ADCmean of solid (≤1.3×10⁻³ mm²/s) and cystic (>2.07×10⁻³ mm²/s) components perfectly discriminate malignancy (AUC 1.00, 0.95) in a retrospective study.
In retrospective study of 167 HCC lesions on MRI, moderate-to-severe hepatic iron overload independently reduced LR-5 assignment (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.02–0.28) and altered key LI-RADS features: washout and capsule.
76% of healthcare educators shifted from AI fear to confidence after a 6-week hands-on CPD course, a qualitative study of 21 finds.
Asymmetrical basilar-tip fusion was more common in aneurysm patients (69.0%) vs clinical reference cohort (44.4%, P=0.01), but exploratory adjusted analyses attenuated the difference. Asymmetry was associated with higher rates of artery of Percheron and PICA variants.
T1-weighted/T2-weighted ratio mapping in 918 multiple sclerosis patients revealed lower ratios in lesions, normal-appearing white matter, cortical grey matter (p<.001) but higher in thalamus and deep grey matter (p≤.01), linked to disability and cognition.
