Cybersecurity in healthcare is more critical than ever. At SIIM 2026 in Pittsburgh, experts discussed why radiology departments are particularly vulnerable to ransomware attacks and outlined layered defence strategies to protect against cyberattacks. Also in this issue, a Danish registry study reveals how trauma-related psychiatric conditions increase cardiovascular risk. Further topics include thymus damage during NSCLC radiotherapy, 3D-printed MRI coils for pediatric imaging, and AI-driven hip fracture prediction. Enjoy reading!

Article • Exploring safeguards and incident response
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 ... |
News • Increased cardiovascular risks
People with a psychiatric disorder after a traumatic event are more likely to have increased cardiovascular risks, such as non-fatal heart attack and stroke or cardiovascular death, a new study finds. |
|
News • Adverse effects of lung cancer treatment
Exposure of the thymus to radiation during lung cancer treatment is linked to an increased risk of the cancer spreading to other parts of the body and overall worse outcomes, a new study finds. |

Video • Small patients, tiny sensors
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. |

News • Machine learning tool beats current screening
An AI tool built from Swedish national health registry data can predict hip fracture risk, and identify more at-risk individuals than current clinical screening practices, according to a new study. |

News • Osteoporosis management
After shoulder replacement surgery, bone density around the implant declines over time, according to a new study. The findings highlight the importance of assessing osteoporosis before surgery. |

News • Medical professionals after the referendum
Decreased health care worker migration, worsening physician shortages: Brexit – the UK's vote to leave the EU – has profoundly impacted the English healthcare system, a new study finds. |

News • Universal definition published
When a myocardial infarction occurs, being able to classify its type can improve diagnosis and treatment. Now, a universal definition has been developed and published by four major cardiac societies. |
|
News • Effects of temperature extremes
Temperature extremes can increase the risk of heart failure hospitalization, a new study finds. This underscores the need for health systems to respond to and prepare for environmental stressors. |
|
News • Promising trial results
Surgical treatment of rectal cancer often means complete removal of the rectum. Now, new trial results suggest a different approach that lets patients keep their rectum – along with significant quality-of-life benefits. |

News • Cardiovascular effects of bronchodilators
Overuse of reliever inhalers is associated with higher risks of developing and dying from cardiovascular disease in asthma and COPD patients, according to a new study. |
|
News • Tissue model mimics colonization
Cancer metastasis is responsible for at least two-thirds of cancer deaths. Researchers have developed a multi-organ chip that mimics how cancer cells spread to distant organs to gain new insights. |
|
News • Alternate to standard classification
“Rather than talking about ER-positive or ER-negative breast cancer, we need to view it as a spectrum”: a new classification approach could lead to more personalised treatments. |
|
News • Reduction of mortality
People who take part in screening for colorectal cancer may have as much as 43% lower risk of dying from the disease, according to new estimates from Sweden published in JAMA Network Open. |
