3D imaging helps diagnose 1.7-million-year-old cancer

Cancer is often thought to be a product of modern times and lifestyles, but researchers have discovered what they believe is the earliest case of malignancy -- in a fossil from an early human ancestor who lived about 1.7 million years ago. The key to diagnosing this ancient cancer was advanced 3D imaging technology.

CT of mastodon helps rewrite North American prehistory

Danish and U.S. researchers have discovered new evidence regarding the first humans and hunters in prehistoric North America, thanks to CT scans of the remains of a mastodon. The first-known hunters on the continent can now be dated back nearly 14,000 years, according to a recent study in the journal Science.

Cold case closed: CT solves iceman's cause of death

You could say it's the oldest open "cold case" to date -- the death of the famous Alpine glacier iceman. Since he was discovered in 1991, his 5,300-year-old mummified remains have been subjected to numerous scientific tests, and theories have abounded as to how he died. Recently, however, a team of Italian and Swiss researchers determined the iceman's exact cause of death using multidetector-row CT (MDCT).

When war hits your radiology department

More than 2,881 attacks on healthcare in Ukraine have been documented since February 2022. At ECR 2026, a radiologist from Kyiv walked a room of European colleagues through what that actually means for a department, and what to do before it happens to yours.

'We can see what the clinicians cannot see, and especially sarcopenia and osteoporosis are under-reported and under-diagnosed,' said Kerensa Beekman, MD, PhD, of Radboud University Medical Center.

ECR: The scan you've already done: Body composition's missing picture

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

The argument for body composition in radiology is not about acquiring new data, but about reading what's already there. At ECR 2026, two sessions made the case that every CT scan already holds information that could change a patient's prognosis. Most of it is never reported.

'We can see what the clinicians cannot see, and especially sarcopenia and osteoporosis are under-reported and under-diagnosed,' said Kerensa Beekman, MD, PhD, of Radboud University Medical Center.

Radiology's carbon problem needs more than good intentions

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Healthcare generates 4.4% of global emissions. Radiology accounts for a notable slice. At ECR 2026, three perspectives on the same problem showed exactly why change is slow and where the real leverage is.
