Elevated coronary inflammation, measured with the CCTA-derived and AI-enabled perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) score, was associated with over a 12-fold higher risk for cardiovascular mortality in patients with no diabetes, hypertension, smoking history or obesity, according to new research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress.

This summer's breast imaging research spanned digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) efficiency gains, AI models that flag cancer risk years before diagnosis, a cautionary study on automation bias, and advances in ultrasound, MRI, and contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM). Here is a look back at the most well-viewed breast imaging content of the summer.

New computed tomography (CT) research in July 2026 ranged from the ongoing impact of AI to significant declines in CT radiation dosing over the past decade to a growing recognition that coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring alone may not be sufficient to convey a true picture of cardiovascular risk stratification.

The AI tools for the newly launched Invenia ABUS Prime ultrasound platform reportedly facilitate a 40 percent increase in scan speed and up to a 93 percent sensitivity rate for lesion detection in women with dense breasts.

Combining automated lesion detection and characterization, the DeepHealth Breast Ultrasound software reportedly offers greater than 98 percent sensitivity for localizing breast lesions and reduces interpretation time for radiologists by 37 percent.

Recently presented research with the AI-powered CaRi-Heart software at the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference found that assessments of advanced coronary inflammation with the software were linked to significantly higher cardiovascular mortality risks.

In comparison to findings from a similar study in 2014, the national volume computed tomography (CT) dose index (CTDLvol) declined by 9.3 percent, according to newly published research involving 5 million CT exams for over 2.8 million adults in 2025.

In an external test set from a recent study, a combined radiomic/deep learning model for intratumoral computed tomography (CT) threshold segmentation offered an 82.3 percent AUC and 95.4 percent sensitivity for predicting visceral pleural invasion in patients with lung adenocarcinoma < 30 mm.

In a recent interview, Kenneth Chan, MBBS, discussed new research, presented at the recent Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) conference, that showed the impact of coronary inflammation in identifying elevated cardiovascular risk in patients with zero or low coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores.

Advanced imaging with photon-counting CT and AI detection of subtle calcification may lead to a reevaluation of the power of zero with coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring.
