Few medical specialties evolve as rapidly as radiology. Continuous advances in imaging technology, the integration of artificial intelligence, and growing interdisciplinary collaboration demand that professionals stay at the forefront of knowledge. The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2026 in Vienna embraces this reality with its motto “Rays of Knowledge”.
Study shows women with stage IV breast cancer detected through screening have a 60% chance of survival ten years after diagnosis – compared to under 20% for those not detected through screening.
New research shows that using ultra-low field (ULF) MRI for breast imaging could offer an alternative to existing breast cancer screening methods and may reduce barriers to screening.
A breakthrough in cardiac electrophysiology: the first system capable of simultaneously mapping all 4 chambers of the heart, providing physicians with a comprehensive, real-time view of arrhythmias.
Researchers have developed 3D volume rendering methods for cardiac MRI that display complex structures within the heart and show blood flow. This can guide treatment decisions in pediatric patients.
A new kind of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) can perform functional MRI scans in real time during brain surgery — helping surgeons detect potential complications in as little as seven seconds.
Transgender patients are largely invisible in breast cancer screening statistics – and many never receive an invitation to participate in screening programmes. Guidelines exist, but awareness among referring physicians remains low. Experts say radiology departments are best positioned to lead the change by creating inclusive environments and actively reaching out to this underserved population.…
A study of 200 lung cancer patients shows photon-counting CT cuts radiation by 66% and contrast agent by 27% - while delivering sharper images and better tumor detection than conventional CT.
Rethinking ultrasound gel: To reduce patient discomfort during sonography exams, researchers from Japan propose a natural, reusable solid pad for clearer, more comfortable imaging.
Beyond "one-size-fits-all": A new strategy that combines two types of PET scans can guide personalized radiotherapy for head and neck cancers, according to new research.
Can a full MRI scanner be shrunk to fit through a hospital door, moved by hand, and still produce diagnostic images – including 3D and DWI sequences? At the ESMRMB 2025 Congress in Marseille, Zhiyong Zhang, researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, offered a detailed demonstration that the answer is yes – if you re-engineer every layer of the machine, from magnets to mobility.
In today’s radiology environment, speed alone is not enough. What truly matters is intelligent workflow, diagnostic confidence and consistent performance even under pressure. Samsung’s GC85A Vision+ is designed exactly for that reality.
Enter the "House of Fujifilm" at ECR 2026: At the radiology congress, the company will open a dedicated space featuring workshops, demonstrations, and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
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…
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered a practical way to detect and fix common AI labeling errors in large collections of radiology images.
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?
Can CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR-CT) be used in patients with angina to predict future major cardiovascular events? A novel AI-based approach for CCTA analysis yields promising results.
Fujifilm announced the European release of its Advanced Laparoscopic Linear Transducer L43LAP, with a wider ultrasound field of view, a tip design intended to facilitate position and orientation identification, single-handed operability, a bending angle of up to 110 degrees, and compatibility with puncture and ablation procedures.
A novel AI-based method can distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiotherapy-induced necrosis on advanced MRI. This could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
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.
Two major Dutch hospitals, Catharina Ziekenhuis in Eindhoven and University Medical Center (UMC) Utrecht, are integrating artificial intelligence (AI) from Qure.ai into their chest X-ray workflows.
Many women over 50 schedule mammograms for breast cancer but miss out on CT lung cancer screenings they're also eligible for. Targeted outreach coul help change this, a new study shows.
Should women be told about their high breast density as part of mammography screening? While this may sound like an obvious choice, a new study warns of unintended effects.
At the RSNA 2025 annual meeting, Royal Philips has announced the expanded commercial availability of their LumiGuide 3D Device Guidance system for light-based navigation.
At this year’s RSNA annual meeting, Siemens Healthineers is presenting its new AI-powered solution for imaging procedures, called Optiq AI, designed to deliver higher quality low-dose images.
