The IAEA's open-access Human Health Campus recorded ~45,800 active users and 150,000 views across 159 countries in 2025, scaling digital education in nuclear medicine and radiology to support diagnostic quality where expertise is scarce.
In knee OA, hypertrophic MRI morphotype probability best distinguished intermittent from constant pain (AUC 0.73, 95% CI not reported). Inflammatory morphotype associated with all pain subtypes. Cross-sectional study, modest discrimination.
Attention-UNet synthesized cone-beam projections from CBCT with PSNR 29.71, SSIM 0.97, VQM 0.20 in 50 head-and-neck cancer patients (retrospective); scatter correction improved PSNR by 21.3%. Method may conserve storage for CB projections.

Eurorad teaching case illustrates that the full extent of calcified ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) on mammography is frequently underestimated, with the true pathological lesion size often extending well beyond the mammographic calcifications.
A new model aims to help radiologists identify true mammography screening gaps by going beyond traditional metrics like recall rates, according to an RSNA News report. No specific performance figures were provided.
