Fat appears bright on fast spin-echo MRI because multiple 180° refocusing pulses reduce J-coupling-induced signal loss. This fundamental concept helps avoid mistaking fat for pathology on T2-weighted FSE images.
A newly refreshed educational guide on the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity (TLICS) system details injury morphology, posterior ligamentous complex integrity, and neurologic status scoring to guide surgical vs. non-surgical management.
Epicardial fat pad is a normal variant, most commonly at the right cardiophrenic angle, that can mimic cardiomegaly or a mediastinal mass on chest radiographs. Recognizing its characteristic smooth, non-calcified appearance prevents unnecessary follow-up imaging.
CSF-venous fistulas can occur without an associated meningeal diverticulum, arising directly from a normal nerve root sleeve or the thecal sac. In this retrospective multicenter case series, two rare variant types are identified and clinically characterized, expanding the imagin…
Systematic review of ultrasound teaching methods finds blended learning (classroom + online) and simulation-based training improve both cognitive and practical skills in medical students more than traditional instruction alone. No single dominant pedagogy identified; flipped cla…
Incidental finding follow-up remains fragmented and error-prone in radiology. This RSNA session examines AI-enabled operational infrastructure—using breast imaging as a case example—to improve tracking, communication, and care continuity while reducing administrative burden.
A JVIR piece confronts the 'elephant in the room' in interventional radiology: the personal and professional toll exacted by high achievement culture. Specific findings and metrics not reported in source snippet.
A Diagnostic Imaging commentary examines the underappreciated social and professional downsides of remote radiology work — including erosion of collegial ties, reduced mentorship, and diminished departmental identity — beyond the well-publicized productivity benefits.
China's 2026 MDR/RR-TB guideline (14 recommendations, grade 1B–2D) prioritizes 6-month BPaLM over 9- or 18-month regimens for adults ≥14 yrs, and endorses monthly chest imaging plus sputum culture for treatment monitoring.
A single case report: high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma (Gleason 5+5=10) debuted with cervical lymph node skip metastases and extensive central venous thrombosis — no pelvic or bone involvement — despite only a PI-RADS 3 mpMRI lesion. Unexplained thrombosis in elderly men shoul…
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.
Paul Chang, MD, argues frustrated radiologists make the best entrepreneurs — RSNA Unscripted interview covers avoiding burnout, embracing innovation, and positioning the specialty for relevance in an AI-driven landscape.
The ACR has published a plain-language version of its Appropriateness Criteria for renal cell carcinoma staging, translating evidence-based imaging recommendations into patient-accessible guidance on when and why specific scans are used.
The ACR has published a plain-language version of its Appropriateness Criteria for leukemia staging and follow-up, translating evidence-based imaging recommendations into accessible guidance for patients and caregivers.
The ACR has published a patient-friendly version of its Appropriateness Criteria for chronic pancreatitis imaging, translating guideline recommendations into plain language to help patients understand which imaging studies are appropriate for their care.
The ACR has published a plain-language adaptation of its Appropriateness Criteria for multiple gestations, translating evidence-based imaging recommendations into patient-accessible guidance for twin and higher-order pregnancies.
A new competency-based radiology residency model integrating 27 subspecialty modules showed no overall score benefit vs. traditional training. However, non-graduate resident subgroup analysis revealed significantly higher theoretical (p=0.0179) and practical scores (p=0.028) wit…
A compilation of blog posts by Ben White offers practical advice for new radiology residents, including transitioning to the reading room and approaching the R1 year.
Opportunistic screening of routine CT exams (e.g., abdominal scans) identifies previously unreported vertebral fractures, flagging patients for osteoporosis workup and potential treatment.
Large language models (LLMs) for automated feedback in medical imaging education show preliminary gains in report quality, diagnostic accuracy, and learner satisfaction, but a systematic review of 7 studies finds early-stage, limited evidence; human oversight remains essential.
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).
In persistent radial neuropathy after neurolysis, the deep branch of the radial nerve shows severe thickening and hyperintensity as it enters the supinator muscle, while the superficial branch remains normal—a key imaging distinction.
A step-by-step breakdown of the brachial plexus anatomy—roots, trunks, divisions, cords, branches—using a logical framework directly applicable to interpreting shoulder, neck, and upper limb imaging. Essential for trainees.
A new Radiopaedia 2025 lecture correlates uterine tube segmental anatomy (intramural to fimbriae) directly with hysterosalpingography and MRI appearances, emphasizing findings when pathology is present, relevant pelvic relationships, and clinically significant arterial supply.
A new educational video from Radiology Tutorials (YouTube) helps radiology trainees master the FRCR physics exam, aiming for a first-time pass.
A free real-time voice-interactive AI radiology tutor, built on 400+ curated cases across 17+ courses, is now available for trial. The tool from Navigating Radiology uses an AI 'attending' to teach imaging interpretation from core CT to subspecialty MRI.
Educational stroke imaging case: 72yo with right weakness, CT shows left insular hypodensity, CTP small core with large penumbra, DSA confirms distal M1/M2 occlusion. Successful thrombectomy. Part of a 4-case intro series.
Intersection syndrome is a friction tenosynovitis where the first extensor compartment crosses the second, 4–8 cm proximal to Lister's tubercle. This video reviews its ultrasound appearance.
Final unknown case: 37-year-old man with worst headache of his life. Noncontrast CT shows subarachnoid blood in the prepontine cistern and 4th ventricle. Interactive review wraps up brain imaging capstone course.
A wedge-shaped opacity with an enlarged vessel leading to its apex—the "negative vessel" sign—suggests pulmonary infarct from intraluminal thrombus or distal obstruction in pulmonary embolism.
