Cardiac CT’s Long-Term PROMISE August 28, 2025

Coronary CT angiography works just as well as traditional stress testing over the long haul for patients with stable symptoms of coronary artery disease. That’s according to the latest follow-up data from the PROMISE study in JAMA Cardiology, which found no difference in mortality between either strategy.  PROMISE was a randomized controlled trial that compared […]

Ensemble Mammo AI Combines Competing Algorithms August 25, 2025

If one AI algorithm works great for breast cancer screening, would two be even better? That’s the question addressed by a new study that combined two commercially available AI algorithms and applied them in different configurations to help radiologists interpret mammograms. Mammography AI is emerging as one of the primary use cases for medical AI, […]

AI for Brain MRI August 21, 2025

What if you could speed up brain MRI exams by performing fast scans for most patients, and reserving complex sequences for the patients who need them? A hint of that future comes from a new study in which AI showed progress in helping radiologists interpret scans with fewer sequences. MRI can visualize minute structures in […]

MRI of Bullet Fragments Is Possible August 18, 2025

Radiology has a renewed focus on MRI safety following the tragic death of a New York man in an MRI accident last month. With that in mind, a new JACR study looks at adverse MRI events caused by an uncommon but still important phenomenon: retained bullet fragments in patients getting scans.  MRI is radiology’s most […]

AI Predicts Radiology Workload August 10, 2025

AI is touted as a tool that can help radiologists lighten their workload. But what if you could use AI to predict when you’ll need help the most? Researchers in Academic Radiology tried that with an AI algorithm that predicted radiology workload based on three key factors.  Imaging practices are facing pressure from a variety […]

AI for Bone Density Screening with X-Ray August 7, 2025

Screening women for osteoporosis using AI analysis of chest X-rays acquired for other clinical indications meets U.S. thresholds for cost-effectiveness. That’s according to a new study in JACR that highlights the potential of radiography AI for opportunistic screening. Osteoporosis screening is already performed using DEXA scanners that detect bone density loss in women. Using AI […]

Radiologist Pay Jumps Nearly 8% in New Survey August 4, 2025

Radiologist pay jumped nearly 8% in 2024 in the latest salary survey from Doximity. That’s the good news. The bad news is that radiology actually slipped a couple notches compared to other highly paid medical specialties. In its latest survey, Doximity found that radiologists had an average annual salary of $572k in 2024.  Radiology’s salary […]

Obesity Drives CT Radiation Dose Higher July 31, 2025

The proportion of patients getting CT scans with high radiation doses more than tripled over a five-year period. That’s according to a new study in British Journal of Radiology that found the rate of high-dose CT rising along with growing obesity rates – despite technical advances in CT instrumentation. CT radiation dose has been closely […]
