One AI, one radiologist: How a Swedish hospital beat breast screening backlogs

When radiologists at Stockholm's Capio Sankt Görans Hospital began working evenings and weekends to clear mounting backlogs, it became clear that something had to change. The solution? Replacing one of the two radiologists traditionally assigned to read breast cancer screenings with artificial intelligence (AI). The results: fewer false positives, more cancers detected, and radiologists finally freed from after-hours work. At the EUSOBI meeting, Dr Karin Dembrower detailed the transition in her department.

When music lights up the brain: insights from fMRI

At the JFR 2025 (Journées Françaises de Radiologie), the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology, an organist and a neuroradiologist came together to share a story that bridges two worlds rarely seen in dialogue – that of sound and that of images. One listens, the other looks. Yet both try to understand the same mystery: what happens in the human brain when music takes control?

Breast imaging for male and transgender patients: bridging the knowledge gap

Breast imaging for male and transgender patients remains an under-researched field with significant gaps in guidelines and clinical practice. At the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) annual scientific meeting, experts presented findings from a pan-European survey on male breast imaging and announced plans for a similar initiative focusing on transgender patients.

The future of breast imaging: a date with density

About 60% women in Europe enrolled in a national breast cancer screening programme who have a screening mammogram can feel reasonably confident that radiologists will be able to diagnose early-stage breast cancer. But what about the 30% categorised as having dense breasts, and the 10% who have extremely dense breasts? At the 2025 SBI (Society of Breast Imaging) Breast Imaging Symposium held in…

Low-field MRI: The imaging solution radiologists haven't learned to trust

At the 2025 ESMRMB Annual Meeting in Marseille, speakers made a strong case for what remains an outsider in radiology: low-field MRI. Despite its affordability, improved performance, and reduced environmental footprint, the technology continues to face scepticism – not from regulators or patients, but from radiologists themselves.
