Radiology's utilization problem sustainability still missed
Turning off scanners helps, but not ordering unnecessary ones in the first place helps more. One Basel radiologist put the benefit into numbers.

Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).

First signals from Germany's lung cancer screening
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Germany launched statutory LDCT lung cancer screening on 1 April 2026, marking one of Europe's most consequential screening rollouts. But at RÖKO Digital, experts made clear that the hard work of implementation from funding to infrastructure, local coordination, and AI integration, is only about to start.

MRI reveals occurrence of placental contractions
By Kate Madden Yee
Characterizing these contractions could help clinicians better understand the placenta's function.
April 29, 2026
Uterine and placental changes during an example placental contraction. The top row shows axial MRI images at selected times points before, during and after a placental contraction (indicated by vertical lines on the graph below) with segmentations shown below. Changes in placental and non-placental volumes, wall areas and placental R2* (all measured across the whole volume of the uterus, not just the single slice shown) are plotted underneath. The legend indicates the colors used for the lines in the plots and the regions indicated in the segmentation.
