Pull linear MRI contrast from market, European group says

In a stunning development, a European Union regulatory body on Friday recommended that four gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI scans be pulled off the market due to concerns about gadolinium remaining in the body years after scans occur. The agents affected include some of the most widely used contrast products in medical imaging.

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

Same report, different worlds

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.

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.
