"You'll never walk alone": Benoît Rizk on how to make radiology AI work
At 3R Swiss Imaging Network, Dr. Benoît Rizk works at the center of real-world AI in radiology. In this video interview he shares why governance and integration matter more than the models themselves, and why the profession needs to have an honest conversation about the decade ahead.
Example radiographs with different labels for 'pulmonary congestion,' 'pleural effusion,' 'pulmonary opacities,' and 'atelectasis.'

How interventional radiology is making radiation visible
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A live demonstration at ECR 2026 showed how virtual-reality (VR) training makes radiation visible in real time, and why neuro-interventional procedures demand a level of dose awareness the field is now trying to operationalize.

IR still trains radiation safety like it's 2010. A new guideline wants to change that.
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
The first major update to the CIRSE/SIR occupational radiation protection guidelines in 16 years calls for a team-based, continuous approach and challenges a field that has long treated safety as a compliance checkbox.

Video: RöKo 2026 presidents aim to push radiology beyond the reading room
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Radiology is central to patient care, but often invisible. In a preview interview, RöKo 2026 presidents Prof. Dr. Saif Afat and Dr. Daniel Pinto dos Santos explain how they want to change that, with debate-driven formats, a stronger focus on visibility, and a shift toward prevention and policy.

How best to characterize CT lung findings after radiation therapy
By Kate Madden Yee
Serial chest CT is cornerstone of post-RT surveillance, but "accurate interpretation is critical to avoid misdiagnosis."

Acute radiation-induced pneumonitis after SBRT (65 Gy, four fractions) in a 53-year-old woman with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus with a left lower lobe metastasis manifesting as a small nodule (not shown). (A) Axial dosimetric reconstruction of a CT image obtained for SBRT planning shows the metastasis receiving the maximal isodose (6500 cGy). (B) Axial CT image obtained 12 months after completion of RT shows focal ground-glass and consolidative opacities confined to the treatment plan (arrow). Note that acute lung injury with SBRT typically manifests later than with conventional RT (i.e., >12 weeks after completion of therapy), and in 25% of patients, the first CT manifestations occur more than one year after completion of RT.
