ASFNR clinical state-of-practice: For posterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke, use noncontrast CT to exclude hemorrhage, CT angiography to identify occlusion, and MRI with DWI as reference standard. Imaging scores like PC-ASPECTS help select patients for thrombectomy.
The ACR Appropriateness Criteria 2026 update provides imaging guidelines for suspected or confirmed diffuse lung disease, covering initial evaluation, acute exacerbation, and surveillance.
New expert consensus framework for symptomatic B3 breast lesions: assess concordance, lower excision threshold for discordant/palpable lesions, conservative management for concordant non-atypical lesions, and risk-based surveillance for atypia.
ACR Appropriateness Criteria for indolent lung cancer: For patients with slow-growing subsolid nodules or atypical cysts where surveillance is chosen over intervention, imaging follow-up aims to detect changes that alter management, with modality selection guided by accuracy and…
A new meta-analysis examines fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET/CT for detecting peritoneal metastases, suggesting diagnostic performance advantages over conventional imaging — though exact pooled sensitivity/specificity figures were not reported in the source ex…
A new CEUS (contrast-enhanced ultrasound) Future Leaders Program has been announced, aiming to develop the next generation of experts in CEUS. Details about curriculum, eligibility, and timeline were not provided in the source.
Photon-counting CT may offer faster, cleaner differentiation of hemorrhage from contrast staining after mechanical thrombectomy — a clinically critical distinction — but supporting numbers not reported in source.
This item is a philosophical blog post quoting Annie Dillard and Thomas Merton on intentional living. It contains no radiology findings, imaging data, clinical results, or practice-relevant information for a radiology audience.
Generative AI firm Midjourney is investing over $74M to launch a whole-body ultrasound screening business — a move radiologists are publicly criticizing for lack of clinical evidence supporting its marketing claims.
The proportion of radiologists performing any IR-related work fell from 70% in 2008 to 50% by 2023, per new JVIR research — suggesting IR is consolidating into a smaller, more specialized subset of the workforce.
The U.S. Senate has passed a radiologist-supported bill aimed at boosting lung cancer research, prompted in part by a puzzling increase in cases among nonsmoking women even as overall lung cancer rates decline.
A retrospective study found vision-language models (VLMs) performed on par with LLMs for labeling incidental breast findings on CT reports, achieving similar accuracy without substantial performance gaps (exact figures not reported in source).
A new AuntMinnie podcast episode examines the potential for artificial intelligence to transform BI-RADS classification in breast imaging. The discussion, hosted by women's imaging experts, explores whether AI might become a standard component of future reporting.
Radiology AI is transitioning from experimental curiosity to real-world accountability, demanding rigorous validation, clinical integration, and measurable impact on patient care.
CTisus hosts a live case conference for June 2026, walking through multiple unknown CT cases with expert commentary. Designed for radiologists and trainees, the session offers practical teaching points on body CT interpretation, differential diagnoses, and pearls for daily pract…

BACKGROUND: Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is a critical prognostic factor in breast cancer. While sentinel lymph node biopsy remains the gold standard, conventional imaging relies on operator expertise with variable diagnostic accuracy. This meta-analysis evaluates the...

OBJECTIVES: In moderately advanced (T2-T3) glottic cancer, eligibility for organ-preserving surgery is limited by tumor extension into certain high-risk areas within the larynx that can be identified on preoperative imaging and serve as predictive factors for poorer outcomes....
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether GPT-4.1 and Llama 3.3 70B, large language models (LLMs) assessed in zero-shot, baseline configurations, detect and categorize clinically consequential errors across types that range from pattern-based to reasoning-dependent. MATERIALS AND METHOD...
OBJECTIVES: Standardizing magnetic resonance enterography (MRE)-defined transmural healing (TH) remains challenging in Crohn's disease (CD) despite its prognostic superiority. We aimed to evaluate seven conventional MRE-defined TH criteria and develop a machine-learning-optimi...

PURPOSE: To compare rupture-related signals captured by automatically extracted computed tomography angiography (CTA) morphologic features and threshold-based computed tomography perfusion (CTP) metrics in large unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs), and to explore a parsim...
BACKGROUND: Thymomas are primarily assessed using chest computed tomography (CT); however, this method has inherent limitations such as an overlap between the semantic features of thymomas presenting as localized lesions and other histological subtypes. Therefore, this study a...
Lens epithelial cells (LECs) have a critical role in nutrient transport, ion balance, and the synthesis of essential molecules required to preserve the lens's transparency. We hypothesize that lens epithelial cell density (LECD) may be correlated with the formation and severit...
A major barrier to clinical adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for brain tumor monitoring is the lack of calibrated uncertainty in automated segmentation, limiting clinician trust. We developed a deep learning framework that generates uncertainty estimates for meningioma...
PCWG4 revises prostate cancer trial design: integrates PSMA PET/CT for eligibility and response, redefines radiographic progression, and introduces 'no longer clinically benefitting' to guide treatment continuation beyond standard endpoints.
A 2023 survey of 3,919 Chinese hospitals found wide variability in prostate MRI practice: only 58.7% included high b-value diffusion-weighted imaging, and 55.3% still used unstructured reports — signaling major PI-RADS standardization gaps nationally.
Systematic review of ultrasound teaching methods finds blended learning (classroom + online) and simulation-based training improve both cognitive and practical skills in medical students more than traditional instruction alone. No single dominant pedagogy identified; flipped cla…
A JACR perspective argues that AI-assisted 'vibe coding' — generating functional code from natural-language prompts without deep programming knowledge — is redefining the expertise required to conduct radiology research, with implications for how the field trains and evaluates i…
A new JACR review distills radiology preparedness lessons from prior major sporting events to guide planning for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and LA 2028 Olympics — covering imaging surge capacity, trauma protocols, and cross-institution coordination. Specific outcome metrics not rep…
Transarterial embolization for uterine arteriovenous fistulas: 100% technical success and 94.4% uterine preservation in 18 patients. Repeat embolization needed in 3; 1 ultimately required hysterectomy. Six patients achieved subsequent pregnancy. Retrospective, single-center, sma…
