Suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: AJR expert panel recommends unenhanced MRI with 3D T1-weighted sequence; report ventriculomegaly, high-convexity narrowed sulci, enlarged Sylvian fissures (disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid space hydrocephalus), and aque…
On 76 test cases, the AI framework achieved Cobb angle MAE 2.4°, Lenke curve type accuracy 0.895, and reduced review time from 8.2 to 1.5 min/case.
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.

Best semi-supervised and transfer learning methods achieved Dice 0.89 vs fully supervised 0.92 for kidney segmentation on non-contrast MRI, substantially reducing need for manual annotations.
In MDD, putamen-centered functional connectivity disruptions were key discriminators. Multimodal MRI model (volumes+FC) classified patients vs controls with AUC 0.685 and 65.3% accuracy.
A review highlights recent cardiac MRI advances—higher-resolution imaging, refined parametric mapping, 4D flow, novel gadolinium alternatives, and AI integration—that improve diagnostic accuracy and workflow, though cost and patient tolerance remain challenges.
Combining cfDNA tumor mutation burden and gene mutation score with age and BI-RADS classification yielded an AUC of 0.923, 88.1% sensitivity, 89.1% specificity for predicting malignancy in 212 patients with BI-RADS 4 breast nodules.
A logistic regression model using age, prostate health index (PHI), and PHI density (PHID) predicted clinically significant prostate cancer in men with PI-RADS 3 lesions with an AUROC of 0.840 (95% CI: 0.754–0.916) on internal validation.
~50% of solitary plasmacytomas progress to symptomatic myeloma within 5 years. Updated International Myeloma Working Group recommendations emphasize advanced imaging to rule out systemic disease; local radiotherapy remains mainstay therapy.

Cognitive biopsy is noninferior to software-fusion biopsy for prostate cancer detection.
A fuzzy dilated CNN with attention-based U-Net lung segmentation achieved an AUC of 0.98 for bacterial pneumonia on chest X-ray. Adding fuzzy logic improved accuracy by 4%, and augmentation boosted AUC by 15% for that class.
Innovative Responses to Escalating RVU Pressures in Radiology.
Portable low-field MRI is emerging as a clinically relevant adjunct for acute stroke when conventional imaging is unavailable or delayed, supporting stroke-type classification, tissue-based triage in wake-up stroke, and serial post-intervention assessment.
Beyond detection: Does AI see prognosis in mammography?
A review maps AI applications in pediatric neuroimaging across quality/safety, fetal, neonatal, hydrocephalus, malformations, tumors, epilepsy, demyelination, stroke, and trauma, while noting that very few FDA-cleared AI tools are pediatric-specific and highlighting the need for…
In 5,977 patients with LVEF <50%, each ischemic segment on stress perfusion CMR independently raised long-term mortality (HR 1.11 per segment, 95% CI 1.06–1.15). Adding ischemia and LGE to clinical factors and LVEF improved risk prediction (NRI 0.217, p<0.001) over 9 years media…
In 752 brain MRIs, an AI tool analyzing DWI, T2-FLAIR, and SWI sequences for infarcts, hemorrhage, and mass lesions had 92% sensitivity for infarcts (95% CI 86–96), 75% for hemorrhage, and 71% for mass. Agreement with neuroradiologists on protocol adaptation was moderate (κ=0.47…
In a 5-year review of BI-RADS 4C and 5 lesions, radiologist-determined radiology-pathology (rad-path) discordance carried a 47.3% upgrade to malignancy versus 9.4% for concordant benign biopsies, supporting its role in guiding surgical excision.
