In a single-center retrospective study of 68 knee OA patients, pull-back genicular nerve ablation (pbGNA) led to greater 12-month WOMAC functional improvement than traditional GNA (β=15.39, p=0.04) but no difference in VAS pain relief. Effect modest, CI wide, and not randomized.
In relapsing MS, brain-predicted age gap (BrainAGE) on MRI was 6.48 yrs vs controls' 0.69 yrs, correlating with worse hand dexterity (9HPT) and walking speed (T25FW) but not with serum NfL or GFAP. Suggests complementary disability markers.
Joint guideline: In abnormal uterine or postmenopausal bleeding, hysteroscopy with visually directed biopsy yields higher diagnostic accuracy than blind endometrial sampling for detecting and excluding endometrial cancer, hyperplasia, polyps, and fibroids. Accuracy is higher for…
A dual-attention deep learning model differentiated pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma from inflammatory nodules on CT, achieving AUC 0.99, sensitivity 100%, specificity 94% in internal validation. Needs external validation.
PSMA PET imaging offers staging advantages over conventional imaging in osseous oligometastatic prostate cancer, potentially reshaping treatment decisions — though exact performance figures not reported in source.
A review argues quantitative imaging biomarkers—not just qualitative reads—are key to unlocking precision medicine, moving beyond one-size-fits-all treatment by extracting mineable data from routine CT, MRI, and PET scans.
Following a cruise-ship cluster, experts outline the 'silent' imaging signs of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome — a rare but high-mortality infection radiologists may be first to flag on chest imaging. Specific findings not quantified in source.
AI-based reference charts are now available to enhance understanding of CT imaging volumes, potentially improving consistency in measuring organ sizes and tumor burden. Details on validation and clinical impact remain limited in this trade announcement.
New imaging data (likely PET-CT) suggest GLP-1 receptor agonists like tirzepatide drive weight loss through pathways beyond appetite suppression alone — exact mechanisms and figures not reported in source summary.
FDA has cleared a CT-based AI tool for automated detection and triage of lower-extremity vascular occlusion. Exact manufacturer, predicate device, and performance metrics not reported in source.
A novel brain MRI finding often described as "dirty" white matter in older adults shows no significant association with increased dementia risk, according to a new study. Researchers found this common appearance, distinct from typical white-matter hyperintensities, is largely be…
The American College of Radiology (ACR) Career Center has posted a job opening for a Division Chief and Medical Director of Breast Imaging. Details are available on the ACR website.
A trade-press guide pitches low-effort automation strategies for radiologists aiming to improve productivity. No clinical data or outcome numbers provided — practical workflow advice targeting day-to-day practice efficiency.
As radiology groups expand, PTO scheduling conflicts are projected to worsen. A new practical framework aims to help practices forecast 'PTO pressure' and manage vacation competition before it strains staffing and morale.
Current wRVUs capture roughly one of ~30 factors affecting radiology study complexity, and do so poorly. Dr. Avery Knapp proposes an AI-based multi-parametric work unit to better reflect true radiologist effort — though details remain conceptual.
The Congressional Budget Office says providers are winning independent dispute resolution arbitrations at rates that undermine the No Surprises Act's intended cost controls, and is calling for further research into implementation failures.
Hot Springs Fire Department credits a newly opened station for faster emergency response times. Details on time reduction or metrics were not provided in the source.
GuideAI Health received FDA clearance for an AI-based vascular triage tool intended to prioritize critical findings on vascular imaging, potentially reducing time to diagnosis.
A malpractice lawsuit over a misread CT scan led to a $23 million jury award, reminding radiologists of the high stakes of interpretive errors.
GuideAI Health has received FDA clearance for its vascular disease software, intended to aid in the diagnosis of vascular conditions.
Researchers Use AI to Establish Body Charts for CT Imaging Across the Adult Lifespan
A full-time Quality Improvement Analyst position is available in Miami, Florida, listed on the ACR Career Center.
Generative AI image company Midjourney has announced a wellness concept pairing whole-body imaging with a spa environment, using a device it terms an 'ultrasonic CT scanner' — non-standard terminology that has drawn skepticism from the imaging community.
Objective.To develop a deep learning framework for the efficient and accurate quantification of hepatic steatosis in whole-slide images (WSIs).Approach.Two retrospective histopathological WSI datasets were collected and graded. A deep learning framework was proposed by incorpo...
New encoder-decoder CNN (MammoDenseSegNet) segments breast dense tissue more reliably than VGG16 baseline across 3 datasets (1,499 mammograms, 606 women): Dice 0.63–0.91 vs 0.06–0.82 (p<0.001). Biggest gain in low-density breasts where baseline nearly fails (Dice 0.16→0.63).
Multimodal deep learning for unresectable stage II-III NSCLC survival reaches C-index 74.42 using CT, whole-slide pathology, and clinical data — without dropping patients who lack complete modality sets. Retrospective; external validation pending.
