Despite intravenous meropenem, fever persisted. White blood cell and CRP levels were high. (A) Maximum-intensity-projection PET images showed increased uptake in column corresponding to the sixth and seventh thoracic vertebrae.

By MedImaging International staff writers Posted on 20 Jul 2026 Radiotherapy planning requires precise identification of organs at risk near a tumor, but manual contouring is repetitive and time-consuming, often delaying plan completion and straining specialist capacity. Some clinicians also worry that artificial intelligence could erode skills or displace roles. A new study shows that AI contouring tools can streamline early planning steps while preserving expert oversight.

Although placental abnormalities are linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes, routine monitoring of placental size is not common in prenatal care. Accurate and practical measurement tools are needed to identify pregnancies with a disproportionately small placenta before complications arise.
