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.

Purpose To develop and evaluate a multiagent framework (ReclAIm) for automated monitoring, detection, and correction of performance decline in medical image classification models. Materials and Methods ReclAIm is a large language model-based multiagent system that operates thr...
Abstract Background Paediatric chest imaging is central to diagnosing respiratory and cardiopulmonary disease, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where pneumonia remains a leading cause of childhood mortality and radiology expertise is scarce. Artificial...
Updated ACR/SIR multisociety guideline mandates image guidance for all epidural steroid injections (ESI), citing rare but serious FDA-flagged neurologic risks. ESI recommended within multidisciplinary care, not as stand-alone therapy, for neck/low back pain with radiculopathy.
A PRISMA systematic review found no evidence supporting uniform national threshold-based report turnaround time (R-TAT) benchmarks — yet CMS will require them for MIPS starting 2026. All 13 eligible studies used only local pre/post comparisons; none benchmarked against the ACR G…
Random forest using longitudinal quantitative MRI features predicted radiographic knee OA progression (AUC 0.87) vs baseline alone 0.80; composite progression AUC 0.66-0.70. Retrospective, no external validation.
The Medicare Access to Radiology Care Act (MARCA) has been reintroduced in Congress, aiming to recognize radiologist assistants as non-physician providers under Medicare. This change would allow them to perform certain imaging services and enable supervising radiologists to bill…
St. Lawrence University recognized alumna Julia Steckel Fleischner '95, P'24. Further details on the honor or its connection to radiology were not provided in the source snippet.
Telix Pharmaceuticals and United Imaging have announced a partnership to develop integrated theranostics solutions for the U.S. market, combining targeted radiopharmaceuticals with advanced imaging systems.
A personal blog post sharing a children's story written and illustrated by the author's six-year-old daughter. This item contains no radiology, imaging, or clinical content and appears to have been ingested in error.
A new ACR-managed study suggests GLP-1 receptor agonist use is associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer. The exact relative risk reduction was not provided in the source snippet. Findings are preliminary and require prospective validation.
A new portable PET scanner allows real-time molecular imaging for image-guided interventions, per a trade report. (Clinical performance data not provided.)
A novel PET tracer reportedly enhances detection of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, according to a news brief. No sensitivity, specificity, or study details were provided in the source; validation data are awaited.
Eurorad educational case illustrates the MRI features of seminal vesicle haemorrhage as a cause of haematospermia, aiding radiologists in recognizing this diagnosis.
Philips's Elevate Plus ultrasound AI software received FDA 510(k) clearance, aiming to enhance image quality and streamline workflow (source: AuntMinnie).
Philips announces an AI-integrated ultrasound system designed to reduce scan time by up to 30%, potentially improving workflow and patient throughput. (Source: news report; independent validation not specified.)
ML and deep learning models consistently outperform conventional MRI for preoperative cavernous sinus invasion prediction in pituitary adenomas; CNN-based models on contrast-enhanced MRI often exceed AUC 0.85. External validation and multicenter data remain lacking.
New living guideline conditionally recommends against light-based adjuncts (e.g., tissue fluorescence) for oral squamous cell carcinoma detection—in adults with or without mucosal lesions—based on very low certainty evidence. Biopsy remains the diagnostic reference standard.
A structured 4-week POCUS rotation in family medicine over 10 years found 44% of graduates continued using POCUS in practice, with higher uptake among rural physicians. Scalable despite limited faculty, but time and equipment access remain barriers.
In a small uncontrolled pilot, a systematic knee MRI reporting protocol course reduced reading time by up to 48.9% (doubling speed) for one radiologist, and 1.3–1.4x for three others. Live 5-week course begins June 8.
Bariatric surgery induces wide-ranging metabolic changes detectable on PET, according to new imaging insights. The findings highlight post-surgical metabolic shifts beyond weight loss alone (exact quantitative metrics not reported in source).
A new PET imaging technique may enable in vivo detection of the tau pathology characteristic of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), according to early research reported by Applied Radiology. Clinical performance data are not yet available.
The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) inducted six new fellows at its 2026 annual meeting, recognizing contributions to the field.
Brain metabolism patterns on PET imaging may predict how well Alzheimer's patients respond to treatment, a new study finds (exact figures not reported in source).
The ACR has updated its Diagnostic Imaging Centers of Excellence (DICOE) recognition program, with revised standards set to take effect June 1, 2026. Details of the changes were not specified in the announcement.
This educational video from CTisus presents a CT-based imaging quiz for June 2026, walking through the correct answers and providing detailed explanations to sharpen diagnostic interpretation skills.
Part 1 of a CTisus educational series reviews the characteristic CT findings of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), emphasizing imaging features that allow radiologists to confidently distinguish this benign liver lesion from malignancy and avoid unnecessary interventions.
AI triaging of low-risk screening mammograms could remove >75% of cases from radiologist review, freeing capacity for high-risk exams, per a new Radiology: Artificial Intelligence study — corroborating a growing body of similar findings.
