Example of Percentile Nomogram With Age-Adjusted BAC Quartiles. (A) Mammogram of a 56-year-old woman. There is evident BAC (pink arrow). This was quantified as a BAC score of 30 using the cmAngio tool. (B) Nomogram indicating that a BAC score of 30 places a 56-year-old woman within the 50th to 75th percentile for her age.

How interventional radiology is making radiation visible
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A live demonstration at ECR 2026 showed how virtual-reality (VR) training makes radiation visible in real time, and why neuro-interventional procedures demand a level of dose awareness the field is now trying to operationalize.

GAE benefits may just be ‘placebo effect’
By Will Morton
Patients who received either genicular artery embolization (GAE) or a sham procedure experienced equal pain improvements.

Contrast-enhanced T1 weSPGR images of the knee of a patient from the GAE group at the level of the suprapatellar recess. The baseline image (left) shows a marked synovial enhancement. There was no change one month after treatment (middle image) and four months after treatment (right image).
IR still trains radiation safety like it's 2010. A new guideline wants to change that.
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
The first major update to the CIRSE/SIR occupational radiation protection guidelines in 16 years calls for a team-based, continuous approach and challenges a field that has long treated safety as a compliance checkbox.

How best to characterize CT lung findings after radiation therapy
By Kate Madden Yee
Serial chest CT is cornerstone of post-RT surveillance, but "accurate interpretation is critical to avoid misdiagnosis."
April 17, 2026
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.
