Retinal imaging goes high resolution

Age-related macular degeneration affects 26% of Europeans over 60, but its early signs are hard to detect. Swiss researchers have developed a technique that makes it possible to observe the retinal cells involved in the disease in vivo.

Magnetized molecules monitor breast cancers

A new technique that uses hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI to monitor the metabolism of different types of breast cancer can identify how rapidly a tumor is growing, U.K. researchers report. The approach could help doctors prescribe the best course of treatment and follow how patients respond.

Human protein-based nanoprobes for MRI

An international team of researchers is reporting on the first-ever human protein-based tumor-targeting MRI contrast agent. The biohybrid composite, which can also be easily cleared by the body, could be used to detect tumors in their early stages, thanks to its enhanced MRI contrast and shorter proton relaxation time.

Small fluorescent dye eases NIR-II imaging

Researchers are reporting on the first small-molecule fluorescent dye for "near-infrared-II" (NIR-II) imaging. The dye, which is rapidly excreted by the body, could be used to image tumors in vivo and for image-guided surgery and therapy (Nature Materials, 23 November 2015).

When war hits your radiology department

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.

'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.

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.

Radiology's carbon problem needs more than good intentions

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

Healthcare generates 4.4% of global emissions. Radiology accounts for a notable slice. At ECR 2026, three perspectives on the same problem showed exactly why change is slow and where the real leverage is.

Mammography AI approach finds more breast cancers, reduces workload

Training, standards needed for radiographers to perform POCUS

By Amerigo Allegretto

Training, standardization, and careful management are needed for radiographers to regularly use point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in imaging departments.

Thérèse Herlihy, PhD, at ECR 2026 discusses the state of radiographer-performed POCUS and what's needed for expanded scope of practice.
