ASFNR clinical state-of-practice: For posterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke, use noncontrast CT to exclude hemorrhage, CT angiography to identify occlusion, and MRI with DWI as reference standard. Imaging scores like PC-ASPECTS help select patients for thrombectomy.
The ACR Appropriateness Criteria 2026 update provides imaging guidelines for suspected or confirmed diffuse lung disease, covering initial evaluation, acute exacerbation, and surveillance.
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…
In 220 spontaneous intracranial hypotension patients, Bern SIH score peaked at ~4–9 weeks of symptoms (median score 8–7) then fell by >1 year (median score 4). A low score in long-standing disease should not rule out SIH — imaging findings are time-dependent.
AJNR published an erratum correcting a previously published article. No specific details about the nature or extent of the correction are reported in the source snippet.
After propensity matching, M2 occlusion thrombectomy yielded good functional outcome (90-day mRS ≤2) in 51.9% vs 30.8% for M1 (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.01–5.3; p=0.04), with lower mortality. Benefit concentrated in NIHSS ≥6 — possibly explaining neutral medium-vessel RCT results.
In 50 β-thalassemia major patients vs 50 matched controls, sub-voxel chi-separation MRI revealed excess iron in hippocampus, insula & anterior cingulate (FDR q<0.05); an SVM classifier achieved mean AUC 0.919±0.054. Higher iron correlated with lower MoCA scores — retrospective,…
Applying 3 pre-procedural criteria—identifiable antecedent event, unilateral pudendal-distribution pain, positive diagnostic nerve block—nearly doubled ≥50% pain relief rates in CT-guided pudendal cryoablation (77.4% vs. 36.4%, p=0.002). Retrospective; only 37% of cases had adeq…
Case report: an occult anatomical snuffbox arteriovenous fistula drove refractory upper extremity venous hypertension in an end-stage renal disease patient with co-existing thoracic outlet syndrome. Highlights the diagnostic challenge when multiple venous outflow obstacles coexi…
A self-supervised 3D deep learning model using preoperative contrast-enhanced CT predicted high pathologic nodal burden (pN2+) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In external validation, AUC was 0.86, sensitivity 58% vs 34% for conventional CT criteria.
A self-adaptive forward-forward network (SaFF-AD) achieved competitive or superior anomaly and out-of-distribution detection versus back-propagation-trained models while using substantially fewer parameters. The method requires no auxiliary networks and generates an intrinsic go…
CCR specificity ~45%, NEXUS ~37%; both ~99% sensitive for c-spine fracture in ED. CT >98% sensitive for bony injury, near-perfect NPV. MRI only for neuro deficit or SCIWORA. Narrative review.
A retrospective AI model identified abnormal LVEF (<50%) on non-contrast chest CT with external AUROC 0.762, surpassing radiologists. Trained on 25,948 studies, it may enable opportunistic heart failure screening.
Combined clinical and peritumoral T2WI radiomics model: external validation AUC 0.795 (95% CI 0.694–0.895) for predicting Gleason ≥4+3 vs ≤3+4 in 225 patients (retrospective, multicenter). Core radiomic feature partially mediated the PI-RADS to Gleason score relationship (indire…
Learn the CT and MRI features of rectal linitis plastica, a rare diffuse adenocarcinoma that presents as concentric wall thickening without a discrete mass, mimicking benign strictures, in this Eurorad teaching case.
Commentary on private equity radiology buyouts: the large upfront payment isn't a bonus — it's the radiologist's own future income, pulled forward and discounted, in exchange for accepting lower compensation long-term. Financial literacy matters at the negotiating table.
A new educational lecture breaks down the complex anatomy of the deep neck spaces into suprahyoid and infrahyoid compartments, providing a clear radiological classification to help localize disease on head and neck imaging.
Senior radiologists and industry leaders clashed at the UK Imaging & Oncology Congress 2026 over whether AI in radiology represents an expensive failure or a vital prerequisite — no consensus reported, reflecting genuine field-wide uncertainty.
DeepHealth has launched Reporting Pro, a new radiology software that uses generative AI to create structured report drafts. The tool integrates with existing EHR and PACS to auto-populate findings and impressions, aiming to cut dictation time. Specific performance metrics for th…
A multi-country Philips survey found the biggest reported AI benefit was reduced diagnostic wait times, yet workflow integration remains a top barrier. Most radiology leaders saw measurable efficiency gains, but a sizeable minority reported no time savings (exact figures not rep…
The American College of Radiology updated its Nuclear Cardiology Module (NM) for continuing education, covering nuclear cardiology imaging techniques and interpretation. The module is available for CME. Updated June 10, 2026.
Radiologists have a long history of embracing new technology, and the American College of Radiology says the field will adapt again, urging radiologists to view innovation as an opportunity, not a threat.
