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.
Artificial intelligence is enabling radiologists to extract valuable diagnostic information from routine chest imaging – identifying patients at risk for osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease without additional scans. At RSNA 2025, researchers presented two AI-powered tools that transform standard chest X-rays and CT scans into opportunistic screening devices.
A new microscopy method reads lipids' natural spectral fingerprints using mid-infrared light and ultrasound – no fluorescent labels needed, less stress for living cells.
By combining two specific markers from a standard cardiac CT scan, researchers were able to identify patients at the highest risk for future heart failure and death.
MEDTRON AG, one of the leading European manufacturers of contrast media injectors and medical technology “Made in Germany,” is expanding its product portfolio with a groundbreaking innovation: With Syriflow® MR, the company introduces a new syringe pump specifically designed for use in MR imaging.
Researchers conducted the first randomized trial of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)-guided CPR, showing improved blood flow indicators during resuscitation of cardiac arrest patients.
Researchers are developing a portable AI-powered scanning slit-light device, designed to make ophthalmic care more accessible, so patients can be assessed any place, and any time.
