From tissue heating to image artifacts – implants were once considered an absolute contraindication to MRI. Modern implant design and evolving safety standards have changed that picture considerably – yet misconceptions persist, even among imaging professionals. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, a dedicated session set out to address those misconceptions head-on.
A diffusion MRI metric can detect changes in white matter tracts not visible on conventional MRI – this could help identify early abnormalities in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
The cause of hallucinations and delusions that start in midlife or later is often unclear. In a new study, PET/MR scans reveal that these symptoms may be linked to brain changes also seen in dementia.
Agfa HealthCare has renewed its HITRUST i1 Certification for the second consecutive year, confirming strong cybersecurity controls for its Enterprise Imaging platform.
As the aorta gains recognition as a functioning organ rather than a simple blood conduit, the lack of standardised imaging protocols is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. At ECR 2026 in Vienna, Professor Nicola Galea from Sapienza University of Rome made a compelling case for unified imaging approaches, warning that inconsistency in measurement techniques can lead to flawed clinical…
A second prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET scan changed treatment plans for nearly half of prostate cancer patients whose first scan was negative, according to new research.
Will artificial intelligence (AI) render radiologists obsolete? What seemed a likely scenario only nine years ago, has now given way to a quite different reality: At RSNA 2025, two experts outlined how AI tools are becoming essential allies – not replacements – for radiologists facing an unprecedented workforce crisis.
Past and present leaders of the European School of Radiology (ESOR) reflected on the evolution of radiology education in Europe and the challenges facing the specialty at ECR 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of the school.
AI models can now assess breast cancer risk directly from changes in screening mammograms over time, a new study shows. This opens the door to a new era of dynamic breast cancer risk assessment.
Imaging pregnant women with acute abdominal pain remains a significant clinical challenge – not only because of concerns about the impact on the unborn child, but also due to the anatomical changes that can obscure diagnosis. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, radiologists Vikas Shah and Charis Bourgioti examined the protocols for safe imaging in pregnancy and the management…
A new high-res PET scanner is making its clinical debut at UZ Leuven. The scanner makes it possible to detect earliest signs of brain diseases, years before a patient experiences the first symptoms.
Advanced multiparametric MRI performed before kidney tumor surgery could help identify patients at higher risk for kidney function decline and chronic kidney disease after nephrectomy.
Ultrasound imaging is notoriously difficult to master, as the operator has to mentally arrange a 3D object from 2D images. A new approach using augmented reality (AR) could help speed up the training.
A new PET imaging approach that measures synaptic density in the spinal cord provides a quantitative way to assess the brain's functional wiring in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have produced the first 3D map of the heart’s electrical wiring in Tetralogy of Fallot, revealing features that may explain why many patients develop heart conduction disorders.
A new AI-based method can reduce the time required for certain MRI brain scans by up to 90% while maintaining a high level of accuracy, paving the way for more efficient and accessible neuroimaging.
Persistent long Covid symptoms are often linked to brain inflammation. However, results from a new study point at a different explanantion for fatigue, cognitive impairment, anxiety, and depression.
A new study shows that diaphragmatic dome height (DDH) - a simple measurement from routine chest X-rays - can help predict survival among patients with lung cancer and breathing disorders.
United Imaging debuts its CE-marked uRT-linac 506c at ESTRO 2026 – a CT-linac system with native AI architecture for adaptive radiotherapy workflows.
