AI aims to decode targeted radiotherapy response
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Same administered activity, different results. Speakers at the Royal College of Radiologists’ 2nd Annual Global AI Conference argued AI could help move targeted radionuclide therapy beyond a one-size-fits-all approach toward more precise, personalized treatment.

Can side-chain chemistry help radiologists choose a safer contrast agent after a hypersensitivity reaction?
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Choosing an alternative contrast agent after an allergic reaction often falls to clinical judgment. A new review examines whether side-chain chemistry can make that decision a little more evidence based.
