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.
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).
CTisus hosts a Facebook Live discussion on leadership insights from outside medicine, part of their 2025-26 speaker series. The conversation reflects on key takeaways for radiologists. Full videos on YouTube.
Complete ulnar styloid attachment tear of the TFCC leaves the bony footprint empty due to tendon retraction. Look for subchondral cyst formation and lunotriquetral ligament injury as secondary signs of instability.
The Office of Management and Budget released a proposed rule on federal financial assistance. The American College of Radiology is reviewing its potential effects on radiology practices (details not yet reported).
A new PET imaging method may improve monitoring of cancer treatment response, per a trade news report. Details on clinical accuracy, patient numbers, or validation were not provided.
RSNA news piece urges embedding sustainability into cancer imaging and care, aiming to reduce environmental footprint while preserving high-quality patient outcomes.
The American College of Radiology is supporting outreach to boost cancer screening rates in medically underserved areas of Washington, DC.
A new multi-analyte blood test (Certitude Breast) is being developed for early breast cancer detection, analyzing serum protein biomarkers and autoantibodies to distinguish malignant from benign disease. It is intended as a non-invasive adjunct to imaging, although published dia…
A new radiology teaching case from CTisus asks 'What is the most likely diagnosis?' — a quick-fire CT quiz to test and sharpen diagnostic reasoning, especially useful for trainees reviewing call-level cases.
At SNMMI 2026 in Los Angeles, theranostics dominated scientific sessions with new agent data, while non-FDG PET radiotracers signal a broadening diagnostic landscape. Specific efficacy or trial numbers not reported in source.

Combined radiomic-clinical XGBoost model achieved AUC 0.897 on test set for separating pulmonary TB from pneumococcal pneumonia in children — outperforming clinical-only (AUC 0.784) and radiomic-only (AUC 0.865) models. Single-center, small n; not yet externally validated.
SCCT and SCAI (endorsed by ACC) release expert consensus on CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT): appropriate use, patient selection, reporting, and integration with coronary CT angiography workflows. Provides field-wide standardization where formal guidelines were absent.
A JACR paper challenges studies that validate head CT reformatting techniques against AI output rather than a true ground truth — arguing this measures AI agreement, not diagnostic accuracy. Methodological distinction matters for interpreting such literature.
C-TIRADS ≥4B yielded 75.7% sensitivity, 75.8% specificity (AUC 0.784) for thyroid malignancy—not significantly different from Kwak TI-RADS (P>0.05) in 272 surgically confirmed cases (retrospective).
Signify Research is updating its subscriber portal homepage to a new layout from 1 July 2026. The change is purely a user-interface refresh — no new content or data offerings were announced in the notice.
Radiologist-entrepreneur Paul Chang, MD, offers practical advice on identifying clinical pain points and channeling them into healthcare innovation, in a new RSNA Unscripted episode aimed at aspiring radiology innovators.
Learn to report TFCC MRI with this 5-case tutorial from easy to hard: from a peripheral tear to complex multi-ligament wrist and DRUJ instability. Led by MSK radiologist Dr. Christoph Agten for radiologists seeking to improve wrist MRI interpretation.
A structured lecture on cerebral venous anatomy for radiologists: dural sinuses, cavernous sinus, superficial veins (Labbe, Trolard), deep veins (internal cerebral, basal veins of Rosenthal, vein of Galen), and a practical framework for neuroimaging interpretation.
On-demand recordings from the American College of Radiology (ACR) 2026 Annual Meeting are now available, covering the latest updates and educational sessions in the field.
The American College of Radiology (ACR) has added new clinical topics to its Appropriateness Criteria, providing updated evidence-based guidance for imaging decisions. Exact topics were not detailed in the announcement.
The ACR Commission on Quality and Safety chair outlines the College's current priorities in a new Q&A, focusing on evolving quality measures and safety standards for radiology practice. The discussion covers new initiatives but does not report specific quantitative outcomes or p…
