Artificial intelligence (AI) assistance facilitates correct fracture identification in cases initially missed by human readers. A representative case is shown using anteroposterior radiographs in a 29-year-old male patient with wrist trauma (suspected nondisplaced transverse scaphoid fracture). The reader’s initial unaided assessment (top) resulted in a missed fracture, whereas with AI assistance (bottom), the fracture was correctly identified. The green box represents the fracture location as predicted by the AI tool, the blue box represents the reference standard annotation, and the red dots represent individual reader annotations.

Review highlights opportunities and risks of AI in pediatric imaging
August 17, 2026
Shown is a 69-year-old man with a cholangiocarcinoma in the distal common bile duct. F-18 FDG-PET/CT was negative where Ga-68 FAPI-46 PET/CT showed high focal FAPI uptake in the liver hilum and surrounding lymph nodes. a-d: F-18 FDG-PET/CT, e-h: Ga-68 FAPI-46 PET/CT. a, b, e, f: Maximum intensity projections, c, g: axial fusion images, d, h: non-contrast enhanced CT.

Review highlights opportunities and risks of AI in pediatric imaging
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Adult-trained AI tools may underperform in children, requiring pediatric-specific datasets, age-stratified validation, and stronger clinical oversight for safe deployment, researchers say.

FAPI-PET/CT shows promise in hepatopancreatobiliary cancers
By Will Morton
FAPI-PET/CT could potentially improve noninvasive cancer staging, and, ultimately, clinical decision making.

AI performs well in breast screening, but density complicates the picture
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
While AI can support breast cancer risk assessment, its performance declined as breast density increased, while variations related to equipment vendor and measurement level may complicate personalized screening.

Amyloid PET scores vary with reference-region choice, Spanish study finds
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Spanish study found that the brain region used as a reference can substantially alter Centiloid scores, while whole-cerebellum normalization produced the most consistent results.

Multi-organ MRI shows no added benefit in major UK Long COVID trial
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A major UK trial found no benefit from routinely adding multi-organ MRI to specialist Long COVID care. Abnormalities were detected, but fatigue and quality of life did not improve.
