Closing out #AAPM26, @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Wenxuan Li presents AI-assisted pancreatic target delineation on CT in a scientific session, validated across multiple centers & paired with contouring quality checks. Coauthored with Drs. Kang Wang, Yang Yang & colleagues.

An integrated metric for assessing radiopharmaceutical dose-response and relative biological effectiveness, based on in vivo tumor growth. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Robin Peter presents in a scientific session this afternoon at #AAPM26. Senior authors are Drs. Rob Flavell & Youngho Seo.

Foundation models are general-purpose #AI systems that can adapt across many imaging tasks, & they are one of the biggest talking points in the field right now. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Yang Yang gives an invited talk on where they fit in medical imaging. #AAPM26

Today at #AAPM26, @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Mike Hoff examines how #AI is changing the MRI physicist's work, and asks whether it can augment the role itself.

Testing whether vision language models can read a glioma MRI, Dr. Bo Liu built a new benchmark from public multi-parametric MRI & health record data, with senior authors Drs. Janine Lupo & Hui Lin. Hear more from @Uucsfimaging.bsky.social this afternoon at #AAPM26.

Congratulations to #postdoc Tamara Vasilkovska on three honors at #ISMRM26. Magna Cum Laude recognition plus first-place awards in two groups for her research on metabolic changes in Alzheimer's disease models. #UCSFProud

The stria of Gennari is one of the only cortical structures visible in a living brain on MRI. A new study co-authored by Dr. Emil Barkovich finds that 7T MRI detects it more frequently & more clearly than standard 3T. Read the full paper in #JMRI: doi.org/10.1002/jmri...

Congratulations to Michael Romano, MD, PhD, recipient of the 2026 RSNA Roentgen Ray Research Award, recognizing outstanding residents & fellows who have advanced radiologic research. Well deserved!

Brain injury patterns after pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest vary by patient age, imaging timing, and arrest characteristics. New research in @theajnr.bsky.social from Drs. Jonathan Shih & Yi Li describes these patterns and what drives them. ➡️ doi.org/10.3174/ajnr...

Juneteenth is a day of celebration & honest reflection. At @ucsfimaging.bsky.social, we honor Black history & hold ourselves to the work of building a department where equitable care & representation are real, not just stated values. Happy Juneteenth!
