Healthcare systems remain prime targets for cyberattacks due to fragmented security standards and vulnerable infrastructure. At ECR 2026, experts demonstrated how hidden prompt injections and data poisoning can compromise AI-based radiology workflows, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The increasing use of AI-driven diagnostics also raises the question of how these technologies are addressed in patient communication. Additional topics cover digital spatial profiling in kidney histopathology and new insights on breast cancer, multiple sclerosis and long Covid. Enjoy reading!
