Measuring AI’s Impact in Real-World Radiology
One of the criticisms of AI in radiology is that there isn’t much data on its effectiveness in real-world environments. Well, a new study in JACR aims to fill that gap by detailing how AI adoption at a large imaging network in Europe affected key radiology performance metrics. Plenty of studies have been published on AI’s positive contribution to radiologists’ diagnostic performance.

One-Stop CT Chest Screening
Could opportunistic screening be driving the evolution of low-dose CT from a screening test just for lung cancer into a broader one-stop exam for multiple chest pathologies? A new study in JACRsuggests as much – and provides a blueprint for how to do it. There’s no question LDCT lung cancer screening is gaining traction around the world. But as screening programs are starting, clinicians are finding that CT scans can detect far more than just lung cancer.

One-Stop CT Chest Screening, Longevity Scans, and ASTRO 2026 News September 28, 2026 “[T]he paradigm of ‘symptoms first, imaging later’ is in many ways a historical accident. It has been the pattern since Roentgen’s discovery of X-rays, in 1896. Soon after that discovery, a physician used X-rays to find buckshot in the hand of an unfortunate hunting-accident victim. Medical imaging was born as a detective’s tool.

Repeat MRI Scans Take Operational Toll
Nobody likes having to repeat a task, and nowhere is that more evident than in MRI. A new study in JACR quantifies the operational toll of MRI scans that have to be repeated due to patient motion, revealing both good news and bad news. Despite its unquestioned diagnostic power, MRI is the imaging modality most susceptible to motion artifacts. That’s because patients have to lie motionless for long periods of time in a confined, noisy metal tube – an environment tailor-made to induce claustrophobia.
Toll of Repeat MRI, Thoracic CT, and Portable MRI for Brain Health
Toll of Repeat MRI, Thoracic CT, and Portable MRI for Brain Health September 24, 2026 “Whether AI fulfills its promise in radiology will ultimately be decided not in the laboratory but in the reading room, shaped by cognitive psychology, UI/UX design, and algorithmic conformity – factors that remain poorly understood.” Kim SH et al, in an article on human-AI collaboration in Radiology: Artificial Intelligence.
