Quality assurance in medical imaging is transforming. This edition's lead article examines how anatomically realistic phantoms are replacing conventional geometric test objects, enabling clinically predictive QA for both traditional imaging and AI-driven workflows. In breast cancer care, new evidence suggests overdiagnosis in mammography screening may be far lower than assumed, while a new trial evaluates whether chemotherapy can be omitted in genomically low-risk patients. Further topics include drug-releasing cochlear implant electrodes and cystic fibrosis airway restoration. Enjoy reading!

The evolving role of phantom-based QA in medical imaging

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 ...
