Tailoring breast radiotherapy to women's risk leads to success

Many women don't have breast cancer recurrence after receiving radiotherapy following initial treatment, a study showed at EBCC15.

'If we continue to spend public money treating diseases rather than investing in prevention, we risk getting nowhere,' said Romana Jerković.

Calcium, cash, and cardiovascular reckoning: Can Europe's new heart plan deliver?

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

A new EU strategy promises to shift cardiovascular care from reaction to prevention, but funding gaps, underused imaging data, and a media attention paradox are already testing its ambitions.

'High noon' x-rays help with nail-gun injuries

The intervention required no additional equipment, cost, or considerable workflow disruption, supporting real-world applicability.

Routine hand views (a) and ‘high noon’ view (b) of a 31-year-old male with penetrating nail gun injury (case 4). The lack of cortical bone involvement is much better visualized on the high noon view.

Same report, different worlds

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Patients now have instant access to their imaging results. But what they don't always have is someone to explain what they mean. This gap often runs along generational lines.

'Images make diagnosis possible, but communication makes them meaningful,' said Dr. Ioana Andreea Gheonea, MD.

What AI still can't do for radiographers

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

The ambiguous case, the junior who doesn't ask and the protocol that doesn't quite fit. AI inherits radiology's hardest problems, not just its workload.

When war hits your radiology department

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

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.

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.

Study finds that AI fails to speed lung cancer diagnosis

AI prioritization of chest x-rays requested by U.K. primary care had no significant impact on the lung cancer pathway.
