Tattoo pigments can have significant impact on imaging

Tattoos can appear as shadows or artifacts on an x-ray, causing confusion during interpretation. Research presented at the U.K. Imaging and Oncology congress has provided new data on which tattoo inks have the greatest impact.

SERAM 2026: AI chest triage cuts referrals without raising CT use

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

A real-world implementation study from a Spanish regional hospital suggests that AI-assisted chest radiograph triage may reduce specialist referrals without driving additional CT imaging.

June 4, 2026

An AI system highlights multiple abnormalities on a chest radiograph, including a pulmonary nodule (nódulo pulmonar), pleural effusion (derrame pleural), and alveolar syndrome/consolidation (síndrome alveolar).

Radiomics model grades hand osteoarthritis on x-rays

Hand osteoarthritis affects approximately 8% of men and 16% of women over the age of 50.

Overlap between manual (radiologist) and semiautomatic (algorithm) segmentations of hand joints on a standard posteroanterior radiograph. Orange overlay indicates manual radiologist segmentations, blue overlay shows algorithm segmentations, and green overlay indicates consistent regions between both methods.

AI devices vary widely in lung cancer detection

Three devices helped detect more cancerous tumors, whereas the other four devices helped detect fewer tumors.

Cropped secondary capture examples. These are illustrative and not intended to imply superiority or inferiority of any device. (A) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 46-year-old female patient. The device correctly identified a right lower lobe nodule projected below the right hemidiaphragm and hilar lymphadenopathy. (B) Posteroanterior radiograph in an 86-year-old female patient with a classic Golden S sign highly suggestive of cancer. Three devices did not identify any findings. (C) The output from one device for the same radiograph as in B. The device placed a contour around the area of abnormality but mislabeled it as segmental collapse, and there are no other elements in the output to raise suspicion of cancer. (D) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 60-year-old male patient -- a case of confirmed lung cancer that was not deemed visible in retrospect. The device identified multiple false-positive abnormalities. (E) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 77-year-old female patient with two right lower lobe nodules. The device mislabeled the abnormality as infection -- a diagnostic term that could incorrectly influence clinical management. (F) Posteroanterior radiograph in a 77-year-old female patient with a right hilar tumor. Most of the lungs have been labeled by the device, with excessive overlap of the abnormality that pragmatically represents an incorrect result. All annotations shown were produced by the devices. LL = lung lesion, LO = lung opacity, PO = pleural other, TBC = tuberculosis.
