They used the data to generate a 3D-printed model that allowed them to replicate the priest's voice.January 28, 2020Clinical NewsImaging finds venous thrombosis in astronautUsing an onboard ultrasound machine, an astronaut on the International Space Station detected venous thrombosis in the individual's own body, according to an article published on 2 January by the New England Journal of Medicine. The intended use of the scanner was to research the effects of space flight.January 9, 2020Clinical NewsCT shines new light on Greenland's mummiesA multidisciplinary research team has used CT to boost understanding of the early history behind atherosclerosis. They have examined the mummified remains of five Greenlandic Inuit people discovered by Martin Luther in 1929.January 2, 2020Clinical News3D printing assists ultrasound-guided liver resectionThe enhanced visualization of patient-specific liver anatomy provided by 3D-printed models based on CT scans led a team of surgeons and radiologists to alter their approach for around 25% of ultrasound-guided liver resections. European Radiology has posted their findings online.December 12, 2019Clinical NewsCardiac patients gain from 3D printing, AR advancesDetermining the distinct benefits of 3D printing and augmented reality (AR) in the management of cardiac conditions, and mapping out which clinical scenarios the technologies are most suitable for, is no easy task. Speakers addressed these questions in a special RSNA session.December 8, 2019Medical, Legal, and PracticeHuman connection is key to progress in radiologyCHICAGO - In a medical world moving at ever-increasing speeds and making greater demands, it will require a conscious effort on the part of individual radiologists to create a culture of patient interaction and keep humanity at the forefront of the specialty, RSNA 2019 President Dr. Valerie Jackson said in her opening address.December 1, 20193D PrintingAuntMinnieEurope.com Advanced Visualization InsiderNovember 25, 2019Clinical News3D printing boosts treatment of urethral injuriesPatient-specific 3D-printed models based on pelvic CT scans improve clinicians' understanding of complex pelvic anatomy and their ability to plan surgical repair for urethral injuries more than conventional imaging, according to a study published online in the Turkish Journal of Urology.November 25, 2019Clinical NewsMEG scanner gives boost to 3D functional brain imagingU.K. investigators are convinced that a prototype magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner can capture clinically useful 3D brain images. They think the device provides a fine opportunity to study a wide range of neurological and mental health conditions, such as epilepsy and autism, in children.November 24, 2019Clinical NewsItalians use 3D printing to enhance safety in upper GI surgeryA group of Italian researchers developed 3D-printed models of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract to provide important benefits to the surgical management of a patient with a compressed esophagus. The team has shared its clinical experiences in an online article posted by BMC Surgery.November 7, 2019Previous PagePage 2 of 14Next PageTop StoriesCTCT 5-star quality rating system supports optimizationThe rating framework demonstrated robust reproducibility, with three-reader concordance reaching up to 93% in highly standardized centers.Organized Radiology IssuesJaap Stoker: AI can assist reviewers, but novelty remains humanMolecular ImagingAmyloid PET scores vary with reference-region choice, Spanish study findsMRIMulti-organ MRI shows no added benefit in major UK Long COVID trialCTEurope’s lung screening training gaps sharpen focus on implementation
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
