⏪ Last week saw representatives from leading international radiology journals meet in Vienna for the Editor’s Forum, taking place in Europe for the first time.

AI in pediatric radiology: how well is it being integrated in real world practice? 🌏👶🤖 AI is increasingly being integrated radiology workflows, but pediatric imaging remains underrepresented in development, validation, and implementation.

🏃‍♂️ A rapidly expanding field with a huge potential for clinical impact, but is there risk attached? ⚠️ ESR Innovation in Focus: Deep learning in MR image reconstruction buff.ly/S4bEgL5 (Martin J. Graves)

Femoral head necrosis requires accurate imaging for staging and treament planning. CT-like MIR can improve detection of early femoral head collapse (Felix L. Herr et al.) buff.ly/MGPvOCa

Bleomycin TACE for giant nodular goiter: a minimally invasive alternative? 🧪 Symptomatic giant nodular goiters can cause neck compression, dyspnea, and dysphagia, while surgery may carry substantial risks in selected patients.

Fetal brain MRI provides insights into the architecture of the human brain. The authors used it to define a spatio-temporal atlas of the ganglionic eminence at 19 to 36 gestational weeks (Tommaso Ciceri et al.) buff.ly/V0cHxnp

In this ex vivo study, ultra-high-resolution images and virtual monoenergetic images at 120-130 keV from PCD-CT were shown to effectively reduce metal artifacts from dental implants (Adib Al-Haj Husain et al.) buff.ly/F8qkELK

DL-based construction methods have been introduced into clinical MRI systems to enhance quality and reduce acquisition time, but to what extent to the influence ADC quantification? (Simona Marzi et al.) buff.ly/BINUPf5

📰 ESR Innovation in Focus: Blood–brain barrier opening using low-frequency transcranial brain-focused ultrasound 💡 buff.ly/wuV4vkJ (Wladyslaw MW Gedroyc, David Maintz & Nassir Navab)

The authors evaluated a microwave imaging prototype to estimate bone-marrow edema in ex vivo bovine samples, using CT and injected volumes as references (Nadim Conti et al.) buff.ly/rc0A9Ba

This study found that ultrasmall paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-enhanced MRI could be a valuable future method for tracking hepatic inflammation dynamics (Joao Piraquive Agudelo et al.) buff.ly/B1Iujua

Venous malformation sclerotherapy: is stasis the key to pain relief? 🤔 Polidocanol foam sclerotherapy is widely used for symptomatic venous malformations, but predicting which patients will achieve meaningful pain relief remains challenging.

🆕 New high-relaxivity contrast agents – what are they good for, and will new technologies change the way we use contrast and MR? 🔄 ESR Innovation in Focus: High-relaxivity gadolinium-based contrast agents buff.ly/k3GMCbl (Carlo A. Mallio, Giles Roditi & Aart J. van der Molen)

The authors evaluated the impact of constraining proprietary and open LLMS to structured outputs in processeing radiology request forms (Mohammed Bahaaeldin et al.) buff.ly/6QmNcK5

Can LLMs reliably detect errors in radiology reports? 📝⚠️ Large language models are increasingly explored for radiology report quality assurance, but linguistic fluency does not necessarily equal clinical reasoning.

Fine-needle aspiration biopsy and core-needle biopsy are common methods to evaulate the pathology of an abnormal tissue mass. This study evaluatedd ultrasound-enhanced fine-needle aspiration biopsy for the first time in humans in vivo (Mira Naukkarinen et al.) buff.ly/fgHo3Vc

This study aimed to establish a connection between preoperative imaging and molecular glioma pathology via 7-T SWI, revealing the in vivo characteristics of pathology. (Fengwei Yu et al.) buff.ly/Jh7Tt6u (Fengwei Yu et al.)

Can automatic AI-driven data cleanup rescue radiologists from administrative chaos and return hundreds of hours back to clinical care? 🧹🩻🤖

Does radiology AI work equally well for everyone, or are we still not checking carefully enough? 🤖⚖️🩻

🏃‍♂️ Feeling left behind with how quickly nuclear medicine is moving, or lost with the number of new tracers? Catch up with this Innovation in Focus paper! ☢️ ESR Innovation in Focus: Future PET radiotracers in oncology

Photon-counting detector CT enables spectral imaging with material seperation. Accurate iodine and iron quantification remains challenging due to inevitable low and high-energy based material CT number mismatches and dual-energy ratio variability.

Lung screening CT is looking for cancer, but can AI reliably mine the “extra” health data hiding in every scan? 🫁🤖

The authors investigated the extent of cellular, transcriptional, and translational activation throughout the liver following radiofrequency ablation (Matthias Stechele et al.) buff.ly/mIZZgV2

The authors compared the capabilities of quantitative assessed paired inspiratory-expiratory area-detector computed tomography for pulmonary functional loss and disease severity evaluations between upright and supine ADCT in matched progressive pulmonary fibrosis patients (Yoshiharu Ohno et al.)

When AI points to tomorrow’s breast cancer on yesterday’s mammogram… what should we do with that signal? 🤖🩻
