Roko Interview 17 April

Video: RöKo 2026 presidents aim to push radiology beyond the reading room

Radiology is central to patient care, but often invisible. In a preview interview, RöKo 2026 presidents Prof. Dr. Saif Afat and Dr. Daniel Pinto dos Santos explain how they want to change that, with debate-driven formats, a stronger focus on visibility, and a shift toward prevention and policy.

$Acute radiation-induced pneumonitis after SBRT (65 Gy, four fractions) in a 53-year-old woman with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with a left lower lobe metastasis manifesting as a small nodule (not shown). (A) Axial dosimetric reconstruction of a CT image obtained for SBRT planning shows the metastasis receiving the maximal isodose (6500 cGy). (B) Axial CT image obtained 12 months after completion of RT shows focal ground-glass and consolidative opacities confined to the treatment plan (arrow). Note that acute lung injury with SBRT typically manifests later than with conventional RT (i.e., >12 weeks after completion of therapy), and in 25% of patients, the first CT manifestations occur more than one year after completion of RT.$

Photon-counting CT reveals plaque progression despite statins

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Photon-counting CT has been praised for image quality and dose reduction. New HURRICANE study data show it can also track coronary plaque progression over time, revealing ongoing disease despite guideline-directed statin therapy.

April 8, 2026

'With photon-counting CT we can quantify plaque volume and its components objectively and track how they change over time,' said Mariaelena Occhipinti, MD, PhD, of Fondazione Gabriele Monasterio Regione Toscana CNR in Pisa, Italy.

When systems go down: Radiology under disaster

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Most radiology disaster plans are stored on a server -- and most servers go down in a disaster.

April 6, 2026

'Disasters remind us that radiology is not only about imaging. It is about decisions, responsibility, and humanity,' said Prof. Nursel Yurttutan, MD, of Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University in Kahramanmaras, Turkey.
