Photon-counting CT enables multi-dimensional coronary assessment—plaque, inflammation, physiology, and myocardium—in a single exam, moving from stenosis-centered to disease-centered imaging.
Keytruda Biosimilar Advances; Oncologist Turned Patient; Will AI Cure Cancer?
Radiologist Ian Weissman, DO, outlines a framework for work-life success that integrates leadership training, mentorship, and patient-centered care to foster long-term career satisfaction.
Modern Radiology eBook Achieves 500,000 Downloads
Sen. Marshall introduces Patients First Act: revives appropriate-use criteria requiring clinical decision support for advanced imaging, estimated to cut $2B in federal spending over 10 years; also ties physician pay to inflation. American College of Radiology supports.
Sirona Medical raises $40M Series D for its RadOS radiology workflow platform, now handling >12M exams/year; revenue up 2.5x YoY, avg contract value >$5M. Funding ensures indefinite cash flow positivity and will fuel global expansion by end of 2026.

PI-RADS v2 Score of 5 or Higher Predicts Bone Metastasis in Prostate Cancer: Study
Middle-aged adults with the highest ultraprocessed food intake had 40% higher adjusted odds of vascular brain injury on MRI (covert brain infarcts or high white matter hyperintensities) compared to lowest intake, a cross-sectional study of 8,783 adults found. No cognitive test d…
Artificial intelligence-driven imaging in sickle cell retinopathy: Advancing early detection, risk stratification, and precision ophthalmology
Letter to the Editor: Methodological and biophysical concerns on quantitative DCE-MRI for early PDAC response assessment.
Interpretive clinical AI oversight assumes independent clinician judgment before AI influence, but electronic health record audit logs do not verify it. Authors propose a 'decision integrity' layer: a tamper-evident six-event record of pre-AI judgment, post-AI revision, and rati…
In women with newly diagnosed breast cancer, additional ipsilateral BI-RADS 3 lesions on ultrasound had a malignancy rate of 7.5% (41/544), vs 0.9% (13/1451) for contralateral lesions. Same-quadrant location, architectural distortion, and calcifications predicted malignancy.
Keeping artificial intelligence agents within the clinical task.
Large language models can extract metastasis status from clinical notes in NSCLC: MedGemma achieved F1=0.80 for overall metastasis in a 579-patient cohort, and F1=0.93 at the note level in a radiology cohort. Llama3 reached F1=0.79 for brain/CNS metastasis.
In 91 NLST participants who died of lung cancer with prior negative screens, 24% had visible-in-retrospect suspicious nodules missed per Lung-RADS v2022, 18% had visible nodules not meeting suspicion criteria (75% <6 mm, 56% juxtapleural), and 55% had no visible nodule.
Intratumoral injection combined with celiac plexus neurolysis improves pain control compared with neurolysis alone in patients with cancer-related upper abdominal pain due to celiac plexus invasion.
Selective Embolization for Recalcitrant Plastic Bronchitis Secondary to a Hepatopulmonary Lymphatic Channel While on VA-ECMO.
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage was successful in 84% of deep neck space abscesses. Serious associated events (mediastinitis, sepsis, airway compromise, thrombosis) independently predicted failure (OR 5.7).
An XGBoost model using 15 clinical features predicted cardiac MRI motion artifacts with AUC 0.875 in 514 adults; SHAP showed state anxiety, breath-hold duration, and heart rate variability drove risk, with risk rising sharply when STAI-State exceeded 45.
An explainable AI diagnostic pipeline reported 96% classification accuracy, 94% sensitivity, and 95% specificity across heterogeneous healthcare datasets, with secure federated learning preserving privacy without sacrificing performance.
In a systematic review of 115 studies on 3D spinal reconstruction for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), only 3.5% achieved workflow/generalization-level validation and none reached clinical-translation-level validation, highlighting a gap in AIS-specific external validation.
Nine structured prostate MRI scoring systems (PI-RADS, PRECISE, PI-RR, etc.) standardize interpretation across detection, surveillance, and post-treatment settings, improving agreement and facilitating evidence-based care.
Higher insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was linked to greater frontal sulcal volumes (left β=596 mm³, right β=344 mm³; p<0.001) in 728 non-diabetic adults, detectable before atrophy. Only in men, strongest <70y. BMI effect mediated by insulin resistance.
