Review charts path toward standardized chest x-ray optimization
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A 29-study review found no consensus on optimal beam quality for adult chest radiography, prompting calls for standardized research and safer, more consistent protocols.

Fairness-aware training improves pneumonia AI performance across sexes
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Fairness-aware training reduced several sex-based disparities in pneumonia AI detection without compromising overall accuracy, but widened the sensitivity gap.

AI fracture detection device validated across three European hospitals
By Will Morton
No differences in AI performance were observed across centers, and AI assistance was associated with higher reader sensitivity.
August 18, 2026
Artificial intelligence (AI) assistance facilitates correct fracture identification in cases initially missed by human readers. A representative case is shown using anteroposterior radiographs in a 29-year-old male patient with wrist trauma (suspected nondisplaced transverse scaphoid fracture). The reader’s initial unaided assessment (top) resulted in a missed fracture, whereas with AI assistance (bottom), the fracture was correctly identified. The green box represents the fracture location as predicted by the AI tool, the blue box represents the reference standard annotation, and the red dots represent individual reader annotations.

Tattoo pigments can have significant impact on imaging
By Philip Ward
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
By Will Morton
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
By Will Morton
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.
