Mammography's roots and its long-running controversy
Today's debate over the value of breast screening is nothing new. Controversy has dogged mammography almost since the technique was invented. Otha Linton looks back at the early days of mammography in the U.S., including the influence of French radiologist Dr. Jean Pierre Bataini.

How the RSNA congress evolved into a global phenomenon
When RSNA held its first meeting in December 1915, the conference attracted 30 of the nascent society's 62 members to a Chicago hotel. Now closing in on its 100-year anniversary, RSNA still meets in Chicago, but it draws 60,000 radiology professionals to what has become the world's largest medical meeting.

Moments in Radiology History: Discovering x-rays
In 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, a professor of physics at Würzburg University in Germany, decided to repeat some experiments about cathode rays that he had seen with his friend Philipp Lenard. This proved a highly significant moment for the future development of medicine.

Europe played leading role in early days of cardiac x-ray
In early 1896, just after the birth of medical x-ray, doctors experimenting with the new rays realized that in addition to imaging bones, the technology was useful for the circulatory system. Otha Linton, executive director of the International Society of Radiology, explores the roots of interventional radiology, from Forssmann to Dotter.

Moments in radiology history: X-ray's early martyrs
How do you make sure a fluoroscope is warmed up? How about putting your hand in front of the x-ray tube until your finger bones appear? That's how early physicians approached the new x-rays discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. Many of these doctors became radiology's first martyrs.

PET develops key clinical role in neuroendocrine tumors
By Edna Astbury-Ward, PhD
Dual PET imaging and the NETPET score are proving increasingly useful in the prognosis and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors.
February 19, 2026
Dual PET imaging in Case Two illustrates a patient with discordant disease. FDG PET (b & d) shows FDG uptake in tail of pancreas primary lesion (yellow arrow), as well as multiple hepatic metastases (yellow boxes), with enlarged liver span. DOTATATE PET on left (a) shows several hepatic metastases that do not demonstrate DOTATATE uptake above background of liver parenchyma. The liver lesions in (c) demonstrate moderate FDG uptake in liver lesions, with no corresponding DOTATATE avidity (white box) or central photopenia (white arrow). This discordance in dual PET imaging corresponds to a NETPET score of 5. This suggests de-differentiated disease and a less favorable prognosis. The patient was not suitable for Lutate treatment and received chemotherapy.
