PSAD remained below 0.11 ng/mL² across all ages in 1037 healthy German men, contrasting with continuously rising PSA. 95th percentile reference: PV 51.39 mL, PSA 2.79 ng/mL, PSAD 0.071 ng/mL².
Noncontrast CT-based unimodal imaging AI detected anterior circulation large vessel occlusion with sensitivity 0.78 (95% credible interval 0.68-0.86) and specificity 0.88, versus expert readers' sensitivity 0.62 and similar specificity; low-certainty retrospective evidence.
SIR Foundation research consensus panel calls for standardized acute DVT intervention endpoints: biologically informed patient selection, anatomic/physiologic metrics, validated severity tools, longitudinal biomarkers, and economic/QoL measures to advance precision and reduce po…
A scoping review of 19 recent patents shows AI-based X-ray diagnostics for osteoporosis are advancing with deep learning for bone density estimation, fracture risk prediction, and image preprocessing, but lack clinical validation and interpretability.
A deep learning model using venous-phase CT images predicted high vs low Ki-67 expression in renal cell carcinoma with accuracy 0.814 (sensitivity 0.889, specificity 0.667) in a clinical validation set of 27 patients.

Curium is in advanced talks to buy Lantheus for $7 billion, potentially combining two major players in diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals such as the PET tracer Pylarify. No final decision has been reached.
ACR projects CT angiography of the chest (CPT 71275) will increase 149% to $83.09 under the proposed 2027 Medicare fee schedule, while other codes like CT upper extremity without dye face cuts (-15%). The conversion factor drops 1.68% to $32.84.
Siemens Healthineers and Vanderbilt Health announced an $87M multi-year partnership to standardize imaging and radiation oncology equipment, integrate AI, and support workforce development across Nashville-based sites.
In a study of 540 adults, six calcaneal angles measured on radiographs were not suitable for sex prediction. Key angles like Böhler and Gissane varied with age, while calcaneal compression differed between sexes. These population-specific reference values may aid clinical diagno…
An automated MRI-based AI framework staged pubertal olecranon bone age with internal accuracies of 94.12% (girls) and 93.75% (boys); external validation at a second centre achieved 86.67% (girls) and 90.48% (boys), with mean absolute errors of 0.233 and 0.095 years.

In a retrospective study of 120 patients, electrocautery tract closure after percutaneous core needle biopsy resulted in no major bleeding, transfusions, or procedure-related deaths at 30 days, with four small intraprocedural hematomas that did not progress.
A letter in World Journal of Radiology warns deep learning models for spontaneous ICH may mistake basal ganglia calcifications for hematoma heterogeneity and chronic lacunar infarcts for perihematomal edema, inflating false positives. Radiologist-verified quantitative radiomics…
A nomogram based on smoking, metabolic status, BMI, age, and sex predicts cardiopulmonary abnormalities on LDCT with AUC 0.833 (95% CI 0.787-0.879) in validation, outperforming age/sex alone (AUC 0.647).
Combining CT radiomics with alpha-fetoprotein and total bilirubin yielded an AUC of 0.948 for predicting glypican-3 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma, up from 0.862 with radiomics alone.
