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.
From population-based mammography screening to more nuanced, risk-adapted models: Emerging technologies, among them contrast-enhanced mammography and contrast-enhanced MRI, as well as next-generation contrast agents, are opening new paths for breast imaging. During the annual scientific meeting of the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) in Maastricht, we spoke with Dr. Joana Reis, Medical…
A combined approach of two biopsy techniques involving PSMA PET/CT may help identify clinically significant prostate cancer that would otherwise be difficult to detect, according to new research.
The uPMR Zenith PET/MR system from United Imaging has received CE marking. It aims to transform MR imaging from photography to videography.
The extent of overdiagnosis has been one of the most debated issues in breast cancer screening for decades. Now, a new study suggests that it is less of a problem than previously thought.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide. As clinical guidelines increasingly recommend MRI before biopsy, prostate MRI has become a critical decision point in the diagnostic pathway. However, many imaging departments continue to face challenges such as long acquisition times, motion-sensitive exams, and labor-intensive post-processing.
PhantomX supplies a new generation of highly realistic phantoms for clinical imaging and AI in medical imaging. Advanced technologies, innovation and and science are used to create optimal solutions for clinical diagnostic workflows.
After treatment for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), patients often undergo prophylactic radiotherapy to prevent metastases in the brain. Now, a new study shows that MRI surveillance alone is enough, with fewer side-effects.
Conventional phantoms for medical imaging deliver reproducible but clinically simplistic benchmarks – as AI becomes embedded in radiology workflows, that is no longer enough. Anatomically realistic phantoms replicate tissue, organs, and pathologies, creating a vendor-neutral testing platform that combines physical precision with clinical relevance.
A new study shows how FAPI PET/MRI can help detect the extent of tissue remodeling and fibrosis from endometriosis. This could improve diagnosis of the condition, even in difficult-to-assess areas.
Cyberattacks on healthcare have reached unprecedented levels, with radiology departments emerging as particularly vulnerable targets. At the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) 2026 annual meeting in Pittsburgh, four authors of the new ACR/SIIM cybersecurity guidelines outlined the threats facing imaging enterprises – and the strategies needed to defend against them.
GE HealthCare and CAMES have officially opened a new education and training centre designed to expand access to point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training for healthcare professionals across the Nordics and beyond.
Much of the equipment used in MRI comes in sizes suited to adult bodies. A new way to create custom, 3D-printed MRI sensors could help give clearer views of small organs in infants and children.
The RTI Mako achieved one of the highest levels of certification for an X-ray dosimeter with PTB approval, marking a major milestone in the continued evolution of the Mako platform.
From tissue heating to image artifacts – implants were once considered an absolute contraindication to MRI. Modern implant design and evolving safety standards have changed that picture considerably – yet misconceptions persist, even among imaging professionals. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, a dedicated session set out to address those misconceptions head-on.
A diffusion MRI metric can detect changes in white matter tracts not visible on conventional MRI – this could help identify early abnormalities in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
The cause of hallucinations and delusions that start in midlife or later is often unclear. In a new study, PET/MR scans reveal that these symptoms may be linked to brain changes also seen in dementia.
PET/CT can add valuable information to aid the diagnosis of fever of unknown origin (FUO), directly influencing the clinical management in nearly 75% of patients, a new study finds.
Using a two-step AI approach, researchers have developed a computationally efficient new method to detect and classify brain tumors from MRI scans more accurately.
Low brain metabolism as measured from 18F-FDG PET/CT is associated with higher mortality in patients with advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to new research.
Agfa HealthCare has renewed its HITRUST i1 Certification for the second consecutive year, confirming strong cybersecurity controls for its Enterprise Imaging platform.
As the aorta gains recognition as a functioning organ rather than a simple blood conduit, the lack of standardised imaging protocols is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. At ECR 2026 in Vienna, Professor Nicola Galea from Sapienza University of Rome made a compelling case for unified imaging approaches, warning that inconsistency in measurement techniques can lead to flawed clinical…
A second prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan changed treatment plans for nearly half of prostate cancer patients whose first scan was negative, according to new research.
A new portable ultrasound system could make breast imaging more accessible. The device generates high-res, 3D images of breast tissue, requires no expertise to operate and could be used at home.
Will artificial intelligence (AI) render radiologists obsolete? What seemed a likely scenario only nine years ago, has now given way to a quite different reality: At RSNA 2025, two experts outlined how AI tools are becoming essential allies – not replacements – for radiologists facing an unprecedented workforce crisis.
Past and present leaders of the European School of Radiology (ESOR) reflected on the evolution of radiology education in Europe and the challenges facing the specialty at ECR 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of the school.
