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 commentary argues the public conflates bad outcomes with medical errors, expecting medicine to be deterministic. Poor systemic management of errors compounds the problem. No new data — an opinion piece worth reading for context on patient safety discourse.
SIIM 2026 reinforced radiology's shift from hardware to software: reporting workflows and the evolving AI platform market dominated the Pittsburgh agenda. No single product moment, but a clear directional signal toward integrated, software-first imaging ecosystems.
The FDA approved Bayer's Ambelvist (gadopiclenol), a high-relaxivity macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent that delivers diagnostic efficacy at half the standard gadolinium dose. It is indicated for MRI of the CNS and body in patients aged 2 years and older, potentially lo…
The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) 2026 Scientific Sessions will take place June 26–28 in Colorado. Registration and abstract submission details are forthcoming.
FDA approved Bayer's low-dose macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent Ambelvist (gadopiclenol). Its high relaxivity permits a lower gadolinium dose for MRI, potentially reducing patient exposure.
The FDA has approved gadoquatrane, a new macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent designed for MRI at a lower administered dose than conventional agents. No specific trial numbers reported in source.
This CTisus educational video reviews CT detection and analysis of small bowel carcinoid tumors, covering imaging protocols and characteristic features to aid diagnosis.
A full-time radiology nurse position is available at Baptist in New Orleans, Louisiana, posted on the ACR Career Center.
A practical review synthesizes how preoperative breast MRI—detecting additional ipsilateral disease in ~20% of newly diagnosed breast cancers—should guide surgical planning under BI-RADS v2025, including new 'Additional Close Findings' category and key oncoplastic thresholds.
Commentary advocates using AI-powered tools to reduce administrative workload in graduate medical education programs. Specific efficiency gains not reported in source. Practical implications for program directors and trainees managing documentation demands.
Narrative review of 9 guidelines + 2 courses across FM, EM, and IM finds shared POCUS curriculum themes but no standardized GME framework for internal medicine — unlike EM and FM, which have ACGME-mandated training.
A brief word test in week 2 of a dissection course significantly predicted practical exam scores across 640 med students, with low scorers (<60%) showing meaningful improvement by course end. Low-tech, early feedback may help struggling learners—though single-institution data li…
An RCT (n=60 nursing students) found creative drama-based education produced significantly greater gains in professional values scores than traditional lectures (p<0.05 between groups; p<0.01 within experimental group). Exact effect sizes not reported in source. Note: study is n…
A scoping review of 10 studies finds peer-assisted learning (PAL) may boost engagement, knowledge retention, and clinical readiness in radiography and nuclear medicine students, but effectiveness depends heavily on mentor training and faculty oversight.
Meta-analysis (n=584): debulking + drug-coated balloon vs. balloon alone for femoropopliteal in-stent restenosis reduced 12-month TLR (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.38–0.88) and amputation (RR 0.37, 95% CI 0.18–0.75); greatest benefit in long or occlusive lesions.
FDA 510(k) clearance for WatchMate Software (Anumana, Inc.), a radiology image processing software. No published performance data.
FDA 510(k) clearance for DRE Duo, a diagnostic radiographic/fluoroscopic system (product code KPR) from Jpi Healthcare Co., Ltd. No clinical performance data reported with this filing.
FDA cleared MediAI-OA (Crescom Co.), an AI-based software device designed to assist in the assessment of knee osteoarthritis on radiographs. The device provides automated analysis of joint space narrowing and other OA-related features.
Siemens Healthineers received FDA 510(k) clearance for LungMaps, a software device that uses AI to analyze chest X-rays. It aims to support clinicians by highlighting potential findings and generating a preliminary report. Specific performance metrics, such as sensitivity and sp…
DeepHealth's Saige-Dx (K253825) receives FDA 510(k) clearance for AI-assisted reconstruction of undersampled prostate MRI data. The software aims to reduce scan time while maintaining image quality for diagnostic radiology. It is cleared as a Class II medical device under produc…
In an external validation set, an FDG PET/CT-based logistic regression model predicted PD-L1 high expression (TPS ≥50%) in resectable NSCLC with an AUC of 0.83, comparable to SVM (0.86) and random forest (0.85) (all adjusted p=1.000). The interpretable nomogram offers a non-inva…
A support vector machine model using eight clinical and ultrasound predictors diagnosed central precocious puberty in girls with AUCs of 0.85 (internal) and 0.83 (external) in a retrospective multicenter study of 2,148 patients.
Machine-learning models using baseline clinical variables showed modest performance (AUC 0.76) for predicting early non-response after first-cycle TACE in intermediate-stage HCC, suggesting these variables alone have limited predictive utility.
