📋 A UK survey highlights variability in policies for managing scout images in cross-sectional imaging. 🖼️ Scout images are often stored with diagnostic series and may contain clinically relevant findings ⚠️ Nearly half of departments report no clear protocols for managing scout imaging data
🫁 Lobar radiomic clustering reveals spatial patterns of “field cancerization” in high-risk smokers undergoing lung cancer screening. 📊 Distinct radiomic clusters across lung lobes, with higher cancer incidence in high-risk regions
🫁 A dual-flow bolus tracking protocol in dual-energy CT pulmonary angiography improves efficiency of pulmonary embolism imaging. 📉 Significant reduction in radiation dose and contrast medium volume 📊 Maintained diagnostic image quality with preserved pulmonary artery visualization
🫁 CT slice thickness significantly affects radiomic feature reproducibility and performance. 📊 Thick-slice CT reduces radiomic stability and discriminative power 🤖 Deep learning–based slice synthesis improves reproducibility toward thin-slice CT
🫁 In a multicenter reader study, radiologists’ memory for previously seen chest radiographs was tested under conditions favoring recognition. 📊 “Remember” responses were frequent (35.1%), but correct recall of explicit identifiers was rare (1.3%)
🫁 CT radiomics combined with H&E pathology enables non-invasive prediction of PD-L1 in non-small cell lung cancer. 📊 Fusion model outperforms single-modality approaches 📈 Higher scores associate with survival and immunotherapy outcomes 🎯 Supports precision immunotherapy decision-making
🩻 Contrast-enhanced mammography and breast magnetic resonance imaging offer similar diagnostic performance in selected indications but differ in sustainability.
🫀 Cine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with strain and hemodynamic force analysis improves detection of constrictive physiology in pericarditis.
Radiation therapy for head and neck cancer can induce imaging-detectable changes in the temporomandibular joint complex.
🩻 A harmonized catalog for imaging biomarkers can improve standardization across research, regulatory, and clinical settings.
📚 A proposed cascade mentoring model redefines radiology training by structuring mentorship across all levels, from faculty to senior residents, junior residents, and undergraduates.
Multi-b-value diffusion models improve risk assessment for clinically significant prostate cancer and remain robust across different MRI vendors. 📊 Area under the curve up to 0.88 🏥 Cross-vendor robustness confirmed 🧠 Improved clinical decision utility
🆕Adding contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging to T2-weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging significantly improves the assessment of vaginal fornix invasion in cervical carcinoma.
🫁 Functional lung magnetic resonance imaging shows altered ventilation and perfusion in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease, with strong correlations to lung function impairment and fibrotic burden on high-resolution computed tomography.
🫁 New Research | Lung cancer screening A European survey of 147 radiologists highlights ongoing uncertainty in reporting incidental findings (IFs) detected on low-dose CT during lung cancer screening.
📊 A nationwide survey of 220 physicians in Germany highlights differences in how imaging coordination is experienced across care settings.
A new nationwide study in the Netherlands reports a substantial rise in pre-biopsy MRI use for prostate cancer diagnosis, based on data from over 50,000 patients.
🤖📊 How can large language models be deployed more sustainably in radiology?
A new multicenter study introduces a foundation model–driven MRI framework to automatically detect extramural vascular invasion (EVI) and mesorectal fascia invasion (MFI) in rectal cancer.
A new review highlights the growing role of medical illustrations as a powerful complement to radiology reports in endometriosis care.
A new pictorial review highlights cinematic rendering (CR) as a next-generation visualization technique in vascular imaging. CR uses a global illumination model to produce photorealistic 3D reconstructions of CTA data.
Peer review is more than quality control, it’s part of how science learns. 🧠📚
Imaging is no longer just supportive in IBD care, it’s becoming central to treatment strategy. 🧠📊 The 2025 ECCO–ESGAR–ESP–IBUS guidelines mark a major shift, placing cross-sectional imaging at the core of treat-to-target management in inflammatory bowel disease.
Tumour progression or radiation necrosis after stereotactic radiosurgery? 🧠⚖️ A new study shows that advanced DSC-MRI parameters, percentage signal recovery (PSR) and relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), can help resolve this common post-treatment dilemma.
🔬 A new prospective study highlights the power of super-resolution contrast-enhanced ultrasound (SR-CEUS) in assessing inflammatory activity in Crohn’s disease.
Can AI outperform experts in measuring coronary stenosis on CT? 🫀🤖 A new study compares AI-based CT quantification, manual CT analysis, and visual invasive coronary angiography against the gold standard (QCA).
🫁🔍 A large multicenter study shows that density heterogeneity is a powerful predictor for distinguishing malignant from benign subcentimeter solid pulmonary nodules.
A new study introduces an explainable multimodal fusion model to predict depth of stromal invasion (DSI) in early-stage cervical cancer.
How should neuroradiology reports be written to best support clinical decision-making? 🧠📄 A new survey study at a tertiary neuroscience center highlights a clear communication gap between neuroradiologists and clinicians.
The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is excited to announce the 2025 Impact Factor (IF) for European Radiology, Insights into Imaging, and European Radiology Experimental.
