Radiology's reproducibility problem is bigger than open access
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
The promise of open access was democratization: publicly funded research, freely available to anyone. But a paper anyone can read is not the same as a result anyone can check, and in radiology, the data, code, and methodology needed to verify most published findings are still almost never shared.

Research papers pile up faster than anyone can verify them.

Photon-counting CT reveals plaque progression despite statins
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Photon-counting CT has been praised for image quality and dose reduction. New HURRICANE study data show it can also track coronary plaque progression over time, revealing ongoing disease despite guideline-directed statin therapy.
April 8, 2026
'With photon-counting CT we can quantify plaque volume and its components objectively and track how they change over time,' said Mariaelena Occhipinti, MD, PhD, of Fondazione Gabriele Monasterio Regione Toscana CNR in Pisa, Italy.

When systems go down: Radiology under disaster
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Most radiology disaster plans are stored on a server -- and most servers go down in a disaster.
April 6, 2026
'Disasters remind us that radiology is not only about imaging. It is about decisions, responsibility, and humanity,' said Prof. Nursel Yurttutan, MD, of Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University in Kahramanmaras, Turkey.
Calcium, cash, and cardiovascular reckoning: Can Europe's new heart plan deliver?
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A new EU strategy promises to shift cardiovascular care from reaction to prevention, but funding gaps, underused imaging data, and a media attention paradox are already testing its ambitions.

'If we continue to spend public money treating diseases rather than investing in prevention, we risk getting nowhere,' said Romana Jerković.
Same report, different worlds
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
Patients now have instant access to their imaging results. But what they don't always have is someone to explain what they mean. This gap often runs along generational lines.

'Images make diagnosis possible, but communication makes them meaningful,' said Dr. Ioana Andreea Gheonea, MD.
What AI still can't do for radiographers

The ambiguous case, the junior who doesn't ask and the protocol that doesn't quite fit. AI inherits radiology's hardest problems, not just its workload.
