Radiology, sonography and beyond: Keep reading to find out how imaging techniques like MRI, CT and ultrasound can be used in the diagnosis of diseases and the guidance of medical procedures.
Measuring radiodensity of visceral fat and muscle from CT scans, researchers have identified a new biomarker that may help determine the prognosis for patients with gastric cancer.
A new high-res PET scanner is making its clinical debut at UZ Leuven. The scanner makes it possible to detect earliest signs of brain diseases, years before a patient experiences the first symptoms.
Advanced multiparametric MRI performed before kidney tumor surgery could help identify patients at higher risk for kidney function decline and chronic kidney disease after nephrectomy.
Ultrasound imaging is notoriously difficult to master, as the operator has to mentally arrange a 3D object from 2D images. A new approach using augmented reality (AR) could help speed up the training.
Researchers developed a simple, rapid, and low-dose X-ray technique to evaluate the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation – a common complication after surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot.
A novel PET imaging framework reveals that bariatric surgery impacts not only body weight, but also the metabolic function of organs. These insights could support more precise treatment monitoring.
A novel portable, point-of-care PET scanner could provide a cost-effective approach for hospitals to perform biopsies, tumor ablations, and other procedures in constrained clinical environments.
A new PET imaging approach that measures synaptic density in the spinal cord provides a quantitative way to assess the brain's functional wiring in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have produced the first 3D map of the heart’s electrical wiring in Tetralogy of Fallot, revealing features that may explain why many patients develop heart conduction disorders.
A new AI-based method can reduce the time required for certain MRI brain scans by up to 90% while maintaining a high level of accuracy, paving the way for more efficient and accessible neuroimaging.
A new study shows that diaphragmatic dome height (DDH) - a simple measurement from routine chest X-rays - can help predict survival among patients with lung cancer and breathing disorders.
Artificial intelligence is enabling radiologists to extract valuable diagnostic information from routine chest imaging – identifying patients at risk for osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease without additional scans. At RSNA 2025, researchers presented two AI-powered tools that transform standard chest X-rays and CT scans into opportunistic screening devices.
By combining two specific markers from a standard cardiac CT scan, researchers were able to identify patients at the highest risk for future heart failure and death.
MEDTRON AG, one of the leading European manufacturers of contrast media injectors and medical technology “Made in Germany,” is expanding its product portfolio with a groundbreaking innovation: With Syriflow® MR, the company introduces a new syringe pump specifically designed for use in MR imaging.
One phishing email sends an entire county’s health service back into the age of pen and paper for months. A hidden prompt is buried within an abdominal CT image: At ECR 2026 in Vienna, cybersecurity experts presented real-world cases that read like ghost stories: tales that exemplify new vulnerabilities in modern AI-driven radiology systems – and how to avoid them.
Imaging left ventricular function is challenging for patients who cannot hold their breath for long. A new AI-enhanced MRI technique captures the entire cardiac cycle in a single shot.
Neither radiologists nor multimodal large language models (LLMs) are able to easily distinguish AI-generated “deepfake” X-ray images from authentic ones, according to a new study.
Detector technology gets most of the attention in modern CT systems – but a new whitepaper by Dunlee, presented at ECR 2026, argues that the X-ray tube is equally decisive.
At this year’s European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Bayer presented new data on a contrast agent that could transform MRI imaging: gadoquatrane, which requires up to 60% less gadolinium than previous standard macrocyclic preparations whilst maintaining the same diagnostic accuracy. Prof. Hubertus Pietsch, Head of MRI & CT Contrast Agent Research at Bayer and one of the key…
Diagnostic imaging without actual images, but with sleek and shiny scanners; no more radiology and pathology departments, but virtual patient models and AI-enhanced surgical precision: At this year's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, two leading experts envisioned 2050 as a radically different future of medicine – less Grey's Anatomy, more Star Trek. They made it clear…
Psychiatrists and neuroimaging experts gathered to explore one of the last remaining frontiers in radiology – the human mind – at the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology (JFR) last October in Paris. Their conversation oscillated between neurons and narratives, algorithms and emotions – a vivid reminder that psychiatry is not only about understanding the brain, but about…
A PSMA PET/CT imaging test could safely halve the number of people who need a biopsy for suspected prostate cancer following inconclusive or reassuring results from an MRI scan, new research finds.
The get up patient transfer aid from febromed addresses the challenge of musculoskeletal complaints in radiology professionals by supporting patients during standing up, repositioning and transfer.
Breast cancer screening could also be used to screen for cardiovascular disease, new research suggests: The risk of serious or fatal heart disease can be predicted with AI analysis of mammograms.
A new targeted PET/CT tracer can detect treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis patients in as little as four weeks, and potentially even at the start of treatment, according to new research.
