Consensus in Diagnosing Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease
2w ago00:28:33Tap to summarizeDr. Lauren Kim and first author Dr. Daniel Marinescu discuss this study comprised of approximately 1,500 patients which determines the relative importance of specific CT imaging features used to distinguish radiologic patterns in fibrotic interstitial lung disease. This study identifies areas of substantial incongruence between radiologist-assigned ILD patterns and current clinical diagnostic guideline definitions, incongruencies which in turn may help refine and standardize future diagnostic criteria. Association of CT Features with Radiologic Patterns in Interstitial Lung Disease: Multinomial Analysis in CARE-PF. Marinescu et al. Radiology 2026; 318(3):e251944. From CT Features and Patterns to Clinical Pathways: Focusing a Multinomial Lens on Fibrotic ILD. Czum and Brown. Radiology 2026; 318(3):e260494.

How CT-based Screening Is Redefining Prevention
3w ago00:17:07Tap to summarizeHost Dr. Celina Nahyun Jo sits down with Dr. Perry Pickhardt to explore how opportunistic CT screening is transforming routine imaging into a powerful tool for cardiometabolic risk assessment, bone health evaluation, liver disease detection, and body composition analysis. Together, they discuss the role of explainable AI, the future of CT-based biologic age, and why value-added imaging has the potential to reshape preventive care. CT-based Opportunistic Screening for Adding Clinical Value:How I Do It. Pickhardt et al. Radiology 2026; 319(1):e252106.

Optimizing Radiography Utilization
4w ago00:35:07Tap to summarizeDr. Linda Chu speaks with Dr. Eddy Zandee and Dr. Kirk Davis about multidisciplinary expert consensus recommendations aimed at reducing the use of low yield radiographs and improving imaging appropriateness across healthcare settings. They explore which common radiographic exams may offer limited clinical value, when CT or MRI may be more appropriate, and how education and workflow changes can help optimize imaging utilization. Optimizing Radiography Utilization: Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus Recommendations Endorsed by the Society of Academic Bone Radiologists, Society of Skeletal Radiology, American Societyof Emergency Radiology, Orthopaedic Trauma Association, American Academy of Emergency Medicine, and American Rhinologic Society. Zandee van Rilland et al. Radiology 2026; 319(2):e252309.

New Insights Into Prostate Cancer Care
Jul 700:26:36Tap to summarizeDr. Ashwin Singh Parihar sits down with Dr. Louise Emmett to discuss how post-therapy Lutetium-177 PSMA SPECT/CT may help predict overall survival in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer and shape future treatment decisions. Drawing from the ENZA-p trial run by ANZUP cancer trials group, they explore quantitative imaging, treatment response assessment, adaptive dosing strategies, and the growing role of theranostics in precision oncology. 177Lu-PSMA-617 SPECT/CT for Early Prediction of Overall Survival in Participants with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer. Ayati et al. Radiology 2026; 319(1):e252672.

Finding the Value in AI Assistance
Jun 3000:22:59Tap to summarizeDr. Siddhant Dogra sits down with Dr. Su Hwan Kim to discuss how reader experience influences the performance and real world utility of large language models for brain MRI differential diagnosis. Together they explore AI assisted decision making, automation bias, radiology training, and why strong AI performance does not always translate into meaningful clinical benefit. Performing Best When Needed Least: Reader Experience ShapesAccuracy Gains in Large Language Model–assisted Brain MRIDifferential Diagnosis. Schramm et al. Radiology 2026; 319(2):e253477.
