Radiology with imaging techniques like MRI and CT is a mainstay in the diagnosis of diseases and the guidance of medical procedures. Keep reading to see the latest developments.
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.
One phishing email sends an entire county’s health service back into the age of pen and paper for months. A hidden prompt is buried within an abdominal CT image: At ECR 2026 in Vienna, cybersecurity experts presented real-world cases that read like ghost stories: tales that exemplify new vulnerabilities in modern AI-driven radiology systems – and how to avoid them.
Imaging left ventricular function is challenging for patients who cannot hold their breath for long. A new AI-enhanced MRI technique captures the entire cardiac cycle in a single shot.
Neither radiologists nor multimodal large language models (LLMs) are able to easily distinguish AI-generated “deepfake” X-ray images from authentic ones, according to a new study.
Detector technology gets most of the attention in modern CT systems – but a new whitepaper by Dunlee, presented at ECR 2026, argues that the X-ray tube is equally decisive.
At this year’s European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Bayer presented new data on a contrast agent that could transform MRI imaging: gadoquatrane, which requires up to 60% less gadolinium than previous standard macrocyclic preparations whilst maintaining the same diagnostic accuracy. Prof. Hubertus Pietsch, Head of MRI & CT Contrast Agent Research at Bayer and one of the key…
Diagnostic imaging without actual images, but with sleek and shiny scanners; no more radiology and pathology departments, but virtual patient models and AI-enhanced surgical precision: At this year's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, two leading experts envisioned 2050 as a radically different future of medicine – less Grey's Anatomy, more Star Trek. They made it clear…
Psychiatrists and neuroimaging experts gathered to explore one of the last remaining frontiers in radiology – the human mind – at the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology (JFR) last October in Paris. Their conversation oscillated between neurons and narratives, algorithms and emotions – a vivid reminder that psychiatry is not only about understanding the brain, but about…
The get up patient transfer aid from febromed addresses the challenge of musculoskeletal complaints in radiology professionals by supporting patients during standing up, repositioning and transfer.
Radiation oncology is a field in remarkable transformation: a deepening global shortage of trained practitioners, persistent inequities in access to treatment – and, on the other side of the ledger, a new generation of technologies, from AI-driven adaptive planning to photon-counting CT, that are expanding what the field can do in ways previously unimaginable. At this year’s World Health Expo…
“A small handle with a big impact.” Radiographers at Rheinland Klinikum Neuss in Germany report measurable physical relief in daily patient transfers thanks to the ceiling-mounted patient transfer aid febromed get up®.
Today’s advanced CT applications require outstanding spatial resolution for both image quality and workflow. To make the most out of the current detector technology, attention has shifted to utilizing the X-ray source to increase spatial resolution, through extra small focal spots.
Radiologists worldwide are facing mounting workloads, with exam volumes rising and workforce numbers struggling to keep pace. At the RSNA 2025 annual meeting in Chicago, a dedicated session explored how departments can improve efficiency using tried-and-tested methods – without waiting for artificial intelligence to arrive.
Few medical specialties evolve as rapidly as radiology. Continuous advances in imaging technology, the integration of artificial intelligence, and growing interdisciplinary collaboration demand that professionals stay at the forefront of knowledge. The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2026 in Vienna embraces this reality with its motto “Rays of Knowledge”.
Researchers have developed 3D volume rendering methods for cardiac MRI that display complex structures within the heart and show blood flow. This can guide treatment decisions in pediatric patients.
A study of 200 lung cancer patients shows photon-counting CT cuts radiation by 66% and contrast agent by 27% - while delivering sharper images and better tumor detection than conventional CT.
In today’s radiology environment, speed alone is not enough. What truly matters is intelligent workflow, diagnostic confidence and consistent performance even under pressure. Samsung’s GC85A Vision+ is designed exactly for that reality.
Enter the "House of Fujifilm" at ECR 2026: At the radiology congress, the company will open a dedicated space featuring workshops, demonstrations, and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
