Representative cardiac MRI strain images and analysis. Images in the two-, four-, and three-chamber views for strain analysis (left) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (eGLSR) curves (right) are shown. (A) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 37-year-old male participant with diabetes mellitus (DM) without events during follow-up after cardiac MRI. (B) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 45-year-old male participant with DM who had heart failure hospitalization during follow-up after cardiac MRI. In the left images, blue represents higher myocardial strain (higher absolute values of negative strain), whereas red represents reduced strain. In the curves, blue represents GLS, whereas orange represents eGLSR. The left y-axis denotes GLS (%), the right y-axis represents eGLSR (per second), and the x-axis denotes time (milliseconds). For these strain parameters, a lower absolute value indicates more severe myocardial functional impairment; accordingly, GLS and eGLSR were more impaired in participants with events compared with those without events.

CT radiation doses have fallen sharply over past decade
By Will Morton
The largest reductions appeared in chest examinations with contrast material, where diagnostic reference levels fell 31%.
July 28, 2026
Bar graphs show comparison of volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) (A) achievable doses (50th percentile) and (B) diagnostic reference levels (75th percentile) between 2014 (see reference 4 by Kanal et al) and 2025 (present study) for 10 common CT examination types performed without contrast (w/o) and with contrast (w/). Across all 10 adult CT examination categories, CTDIvol achievable doses and diagnostic reference levels generally decreased from 2014 to 2025, with the largest reductions for torso examinations (chest; abdomen-pelvis; and combined chest, abdomen, and pelvis), intermediate reductions for neck and cervical spine, and minimal change for head examinations.

ACR rolls out PE-RADS for pulmonary embolism care
By Amerigo Allegretto
The framework outlines grading and suggestions for CT and MRI angiography interpretation.
July 21, 2026
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) with right ventricle (RV) enlargement and clot-in-transit. PE chest axial CT angiography images demonstrate pulmonary embolus in the right pulmonary artery (white solid arrow), an enlarged RV (dotted arrow), and thrombus transiting through the right atrium (black arrows), PE-RADS 4/RV+/T+. The “4” refers to the PE‑RADS ordinal category for the most proximal clot location (central arteries). “RV+” indicates RV enlargement (RV to left ventricle ratio ≥ 1.0). “T+” indicates definitive thrombus identified in the right atrium and/or RV.
