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 rapid scoping review of 36 studies (2019–2026) finds AI education in US health professions programs growing but lacking robust evaluation. Most evidence is from surveys and reviews; radiology leads implementations. Curricula have no demonstrated link to clinical outcomes.
In interviews with 18 radiologists, accuracy/reliability (94%) and time-saving (100%) were most critical for AI trust; 89% valued institutional reputation, 83% required human oversight. Findings emphasize human-centered AI adoption.
A multimodal machine learning model integrating CT habitat heterogeneity predicted radiation proctitis with an AUC of 0.87 on an independent test set (retrospective, n=100). All high-risk patients per the nomogram developed radiation proctitis. External validation is needed.
A multimodal deep learning model using MRS-derived vmPFC metabolites and clinical data classified auditory hallucinations in adolescents with bipolar depression with 71.43% accuracy (F1=0.75) in a small retrospective study.
A deep-learning radiomic nomogram (DLRN) using visceral fat features on noncontrast CT achieved AUC 0.936 (internal) and 0.862 (external) for preoperative GIST risk stratification, outperforming clinical models. Retrospective, small cohort — further validation needed.
In a retrospective study of 26 femoroacetabular impingement patients, GPT-5 achieved 88% accuracy (85% sensitivity, 92% specificity) for treatment decisions when given radiology plus medical record data, outperforming other large language models (Gemini 2.5 Pro 62%, DeepSeek-R1…
Adding ADC and ASL radiomics to structural MRI improved ATRX mutation prediction in glioblastoma (AUC 0.721→0.753, p<0.05; sensitivity 0.737→0.947), with age as the dominant predictor. Retrospective, single-center study in 106 patients.
A model combining clinicopathologic factors and radiologist-assessed MRI semantic features predicted germline BRCA mutations with AUC 0.77 in external validation (492 high-risk patients, multicenter). Radiomics did not improve performance in this retrospective study.
Retrospective study: in 416 dental patients, a GenAI pipeline trained 6 ML models on systemic indicators for periodontitis prediction. AUCs were modest (0.48–0.57); SVM had 89% sensitivity, suggesting screening utility where radiography unavailable, but diagnostic accuracy limit…

An emerging PET radiotracer may improve detection of small metastases in advanced melanoma, potentially outperforming conventional imaging — though exact sensitivity/specificity figures were not reported in the source.
RSNA co-director Christelle Ackermann describes Across Africa, a global partnership initiative targeting health equity, imaging access, safety, and patient care improvement across African nations. Program scope and outcomes not quantified in source.
A new study reports gadolinium-based contrast agents are safe for vulnerable MRI patients, amid broader efforts to reduce gadolinium doses in contrast agents. Specific safety metrics and patient subgroups not detailed in source.
Biomechanical CT analysis of routine scans may expand opportunistic osteoporosis screening beyond standard bone density metrics — but clinical impact and validation data were not reported in the source snippet.
FDA has warned a medical device manufacturer that its 'MRI-safe' ventilator claims may lack adequate supporting evidence, following a federal inspection. MRI safety labeling for life-support devices carries direct patient-safety implications.
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) has announced the recipients of its 2026 Editorial Fellowship, a program that provides early-career radiologists with editorial mentorship.
Boston researchers will co-lead a long-term molecular neuroimaging study examining brain aging and vulnerability to cognitive decline, backed by a $9M grant. Specific imaging modalities, enrollment targets, and timelines not yet reported.
A new study suggests single-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is a valid treatment option for localized prostate cancer.
Insightec highlights a study of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for Parkinson's disease; the press release does not provide specific efficacy or safety data.

The FDA's latest AI-enabled device list (through Q1 2026) identifies the top 10 radiology AI vendors by number of regulatory authorizations. Specific vendor rankings and approval counts not reported in source excerpt.
OBJECTIVES: To examine screening mammograms assigned high-risk scores by two artificial intelligence (AI) models, 2 and 4 years prior to screen-detected cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was based on data from 130,031 screening examinations performed in...
INTRODUCTION: Visual amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) interpretation is standard for detecting cerebral amyloid-β but is limited by subjectivity, inter-reader variability, and tracer heterogeneity. We evaluated the impact of adjunctive quantitative analysis in real-w...
