In a recent interview, Stamatia Destounis, MD, offered her perspective about the recent American College of Physicians (ACP) guidance on breast cancer screening and concerns over recommendations in women with dense breasts and biennial versus annual mammography screening.

Called a “star physician” by President Trump, Nicole Saphier, MD, a board-certified breast radiologist and associate professor at Weill Cornell Medical College, “is a tireless advocate for women’s health,” according to American College of Radiology (ACR) CEO Dana H. Smetherman, MD.

In an independent test set, a radiomic AI model demonstrated an 82 percent AUC for detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma on computed tomography (CT) scans at a median of nearly 16 months prior to clinical diagnosis.

In a recent interview, Matthew Hulse, a certified nuclear medicine technologist, discussed the evolution of amyloid PET imaging in managing patients with Alzheimer’s disease, the impact on PET imaging volume and the emergence of quantification platforms for monitoring treatment efficacy.

Patients who had a total tumor volume (TTV) complete response (CR) on six-week SPECT/CT imaging had a 16 percent higher survival rate at two years in comparison to those who didn’t have TTV CR, according to new prospective research.

Providing enhanced multidimensional displays of MRI and CT imaging, the Avatar Medical Vision software may facilitate improved surgical planning and intraoperative communication.

Facilitating enhanced real-time visualization for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, the Ultreon 3.0 optical coherence tomography platform reportedly combines high-resolution imaging with AI-powered insights on stent sizing and positioning.

In recent interviews with Diagnostic Imaging, Wendie Berg, MD, PhD, Stamatia Destounis, MD, and Manisha Bahl, MD, shared their concerns about the recent breast cancer screening guidance from the American College of Physicians.

In recent interviews, Andrew Del Gaizo, MD, Nicholas Galante, MD and David Larson, MD, MBA, shared their thoughts on the rapidly increasing imaging volume in radiology, key ramifications and possible solutions.

In a recent interview, Manisha Bahl, MD, discussed new breast ultrasound research findings that showed 16 percent higher specificity for breast cancer with adjunctive AI in comparison to unassisted interpretation.

AI software identified breast cancer missed by radiologists on one prior screening DBT exam in 26.8 percent of patients and on three prior screening DBT exams in 11 percent of patients, according to a study involving over 300 women that was presented at the Society of Breast Imaging conference.

In a recent interview with Diagnostic Imaging, Sujith Kalathiveetil, MD, FACC, discussed the evolution of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), AI-enabled tools and the potential for future innovations with CCTA.

The Rembra CT reportedly facilitates high-throughput imaging for high-volume settings such as emergency departments and the Rembra RT and Areta RT platforms offer an extended 85 cm field of view and 4D CT to enable enhanced accuracy in tumor targeting.

PlaqueSegNet, an emerging deep learning model for coronary plaque quantification based off CCTA exams, offered a greater than 90 percent intraclass correlation coefficient agreement with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and expert readers across four separate datasets.

In a recent interview, Andrew Del Gaizo, MD, and Nicholas Galante, MD, shared their thoughts and perspectives on increasing imaging volume, the sunsetting of PowerScribe 360, AI hype and promise, and potential opportunities in radiology.

Facilitating real-time visualization of deep vessel structures and high-resolution surface detail within a single workflow, the hybrid intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)/optical coherence tomography (OCT) platform will be launched in the second quarter of 2026.

Key features with version 1.2 of the 3D mammography algorithm include selectable thresholds for navigating sensitivity and specificity tradeoffs with AI.

Approximately 15 percent of women with abnormal screening mammography results and adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) had follow-up diagnostic mammography or breast ultrasound within 30 days, according to multinational research presented at the Society of Breast Imaging symposium.

The Bunkerhill Contrast CAC and Bunkerhill Contrast AVC are reportedly the only AI-powered software modalities to garner 510(k) clearance for detection and quantification of coronary artery calcium and aortic valve calcium on contrast-enhanced CT scans.

In a recent interview, Connie Lehman, MD, PhD, discussed key changes to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines on breast cancer screening, including the use of AI-powered five-year risk assessment beginning at the age of 35.

The Philips Spectral CT Verida system reportedly provides reconstruction of 145 images per second, allowing entire CT exams to appear in less than 30 seconds.

Employing the SwiftMR software with deep learning reconstruction solutions from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may provide additional sequence coverage as well as scan time reduction.

In recent interviews with Diagnostic Imaging, Andrew Del Gaizo, MD, Nick Galante, MD and Marc Succi, MD, shared their perspective on the recent comment from NYC Health and Hospitals CEO Mitchell Katz, MD, about potentially replacing radiologists with AI.

In a recent interview, Marc Succi, MD, discussed findings from a new study examining the clinical reasoning capabilities of 21 large language models (LLMs), including GPT-5, Grok 4 and Claude 4.5 Opus.

In a new podcast episode, interventional radiologist Suresh Vedantham, MD, FSIR, discussed the use of iliac vein stent placement for addressing the severity of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and new multicenter study findings presented at the Society for Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting.
