Only one-third of patients received osteoporosis medication after vertebral augmentation. The incidence of new vertebral fractures fell from 0.519 to 0.076 per person-year after starting medical management (incidence rate ratio 6.79, 95% CI 3.37-15.51), a 6-fold decreased risk.
Percutaneous MWA of T1 RCC showed 76% 10-year overall survival, 85% cancer-specific survival, and 83% local progression-free survival, with stable renal function and low complications.
Integrated model combining emphysema, Pi10, airway branch count, and clinical data detected undiagnosed COPD with AUC 0.83 (95% CI 0.80-0.86) in 5,014 lung screening participants, up from 0.69 for emphysema alone, reducing confirmatory spirometry referrals from 41% to 34%.
FAPI PET/CT showed 93.0% sensitivity vs 76.5% for FDG (p=0.002) in 176 patients with suspected HPB cancers. Nodal accuracy was 86.8% vs 71.1%. Dual-tracer approach did not improve accuracy. Prospective validation needed.

Biparametric MRI (bpMRI) may be a faster, lower-cost alternative to multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection, according to a news report. bpMRI omits the contrast-enhanced sequence, potentially reducing scan time and cost. (Exact study details not reported in source.)
This educational video reviews CT imaging features of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and highlights common diagnostic pitfalls. It emphasizes the central scar, homogeneous enhancement, and the importance of multiphase technique to differentiate FNH from other hypervascular live…
A new report reframes radiology's workforce shortage: persistent unfilled 'zombie jobs' are largely concentrated in geographically less desirable markets, suggesting the field has a distribution problem more than an absolute supply deficit.
Introduction: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has radically reshaped the field of medical imaging and radiology through advancements in diagnostic precision, efficient workflows, and evidence-based care. The incorporation of advanced technologies like deep learning, convolutional...
FDA 510(k) clearance granted to One Ortho's 2D Hip Planning Software (product code LLZ), a radiology-based tool for preoperative hip surgical planning from 2D imaging.
In 101 outpatients, an LLM-driven web app with clinician-edited summaries, clickable terms, and AI videos significantly improved self-reported radiology report comprehension (median score 4→5, p<0.001). Yet most patients were uncomfortable with unedited AI summaries, and edits a…
Updated ACR Appropriateness Criteria confirm radiographs as the first-line imaging for chronic knee pain. Additional imaging (MRI, etc.) is outlined for specific scenarios including confirmed osteoarthritis, osteochondral lesions, subchondral insufficiency fracture, and soft-tis…
The Radiology Assistant published a 2026 update on MRI's role in dementia, covering structural imaging, atrophy patterns, and advanced techniques. (Exact figures not reported in source.)
In post-PCI coronary artery disease patients, pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) on CTA modifies Lp(a)'s MACE risk: high Lp(a)+high FAI-LAD yields HR 2.69 (95% CI 1.75–4.10) vs HR 1.10 when FAI is low. Combined AUC 0.713 vs 0.599 for conventional risk factors alone.
ACR Appropriateness Criteria for penetrating torso trauma now address the evolving military threat environment, providing imaging guidance tailored to high-velocity and blast injury patterns distinct from civilian trauma — relevant for both combat and mass-casualty scenarios.
A response letter in JACR pushes back on treating AI output as ground truth in head CT reformatting research, arguing that accuracy vs. agreement are distinct—and that conflating them undermines study validity. Methodological debate, not new clinical data.
Generative AI policies across radiology and medical journals remain inconsistent—no common standard exists for what to disclose, where, or how. This JACR commentary maps policy evolution, highlights the GAMER statement, and argues a universal disclosure log is the practical mini…
Pulling a chest X-ray AI triage tool caused both operational relief and perceived clinical loss among NHS radiology staff. Post-decommissioning, 70% still saw patient benefit (vs 71% pre-implementation), but logistical burden rose vs late-use. Authors propose a 3-phase off-board…
MRI-based breast density from routine T1 sequences correlated strongly with mammographic density (r=0.781) but was on average 27.7% lower in a study of 113 women. AUC for high-density detection was 0.869 for MRI vs 0.799 for mammography (P=0.085).
A prospective study shows Hologic's AI-based workflow tool maintains screening mammography accuracy while significantly reducing time to review prior exams, potentially easing radiologist workload without compromising performance (exact figures not reported in source).
Interventional radiologist Maureen Kohi, MD discusses navigating the 'double bind' facing women in medicine, overcoming self-doubt, and building authentic leadership identity — practical career guidance for residents through attendings.
A new educational lecture argues that ‘transient osteoporosis of the hip’ is a misnomer; modern MRI reveals these cases are actually subchondral insufficiency fractures invisible on older scanners.
The European Society of Radiology releases a new set of procedural video resources (A, B, C) for neuro-intervention education. No primary research findings; content appears to be technique-focused teaching material for trainees and practitioners.
The European Society of Radiology releases a new set of three procedural videos (A, B, C) in its neuro-intervention educational series, page 54. Specific techniques or cases covered are not detailed in the source.
The European Society of Radiology has published or updated a neuro-intervention resource page. Specific content, findings, or recommendations are not detailed in the available source snippet.
Private equity firm Kain Capital has made a strategic investment in RadX to accelerate the company's expansion and enhance its radiology technology and service offerings.
Pennsylvania lawmakers advanced legislation that would establish state-level licensure requirements for medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals, bringing the state in line with national standards.

ACR Appropriateness Criteria for pediatric GI bleeding: CTA abdomen/pelvis is usually appropriate first-line imaging in unstable patients; nuclear medicine (Meckel scan, tagged RBC) aids localization; many benign cases need no imaging at all.
ACR Appropriateness Criteria for epigastric pain updated: evidence-based imaging recommendations now cover esophageal/gastroduodenal perforation, GERD, esophagitis, peptic ulcer disease, hiatal hernia, and post-reflux surgery scenarios, using GRADE methodology.
AI in radiology improves image interpretation and disease detection, but ethical considerations around data privacy, bias, and accountability must be addressed (narrative review).
