Radiology's utilization problem sustainability still missed
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Turning off scanners helps, but not ordering unnecessary ones in the first place helps more. One Basel radiologist put the benefit into numbers.

The EANM joins EMUC26 and pushes its policy agenda in Brussels
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Decisions shaping who gets access to theranostics in Europe have long been made mainly in the clinic. With EANM opening a Brussels office and joining EMUC26 as co-organizer, a full policy agenda arrives at the EU table.

Whole body MRI, deep-learning can 'map' distribution of fat and muscle
By Kate Madden Yee
The map shows that the quality and amount of skeletal muscle, not just visceral fat, are strong predictors of disease.
May 5, 2026
Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based z-score calculator (https://circ-ml.github.io).
First signals from Germany's lung cancer screening
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Germany launched statutory LDCT lung cancer screening on 1 April 2026, marking one of Europe's most consequential screening rollouts. But at RÖKO Digital, experts made clear that the hard work of implementation from funding to infrastructure, local coordination, and AI integration, is only about to start.

'If you want to get this off the ground, coordinate locally with the cooperation partners that are necessary anyway, and set it up together. BDR and DRG are moving forward on this jointly,' said Prof. Dr. Hermann Helmberger, BDR president.

When gynecology runs out of answers, interventional radiology steps in
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Chronic pelvic pain passed between specialties for years, and a fibroid procedure that preserves fertility. While IR has solutions, the referral culture is only catching up slowly.

'MRI is here essential as a pre- and post-interventional imaging tool,' said Dr. Geert Maleux, MD, PhD, of University Hospitals Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.
