Photon-counting CT was linked to lower radiation dose metrics and improved image quality in paediatric CT imaging, although benefits varied across studies.

A study found weight-based contrast dosing maintained diagnostic image quality in lower-limb CTA while reducing contrast volume and related costs.

AI DICOM standardisation was linked to shorter radiology reading times and high metadata accuracy in a retrospective imaging study.

Intestinal ultrasound in Crohn’s disease shows strong agreement with MRI in 504 assessments, supporting its role in routine disease monitoring.

An MRI-based measurement may improve progressive supranuclear palsy diagnosis, with strong performance across more than 2,100 participants.

Early postoperative MRI demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for detecting residual disease after neuroblastoma surgery and may help guide treatment decisions.

Ultrasound showed comparable accuracy to PET/CT and DW-MRI for preoperative cervical cancer lymph node assessment.

Saline tract sealing may reduce the risk of pneumothorax and the need for chest tube placement following CT-guided lung biopsy.
