Dear AuntMinnie member,
MRI safety topics took center stage on AuntMinnie last week, led by a column from MRI safety experts Kris Seitz and Tobias Gilk on metallic cat-eye nail polish, a video interview on the topic, and also the last episode of Series 1 of the “The Invisible Force" podcast series.
As is often the case, AI also drew considerable interest. Associate Editor Amerigo Allegretto caught up with Nina Kottler, MD, at SIIM 2026 to get an update on how AI can improve efficiency in radiology. And in episode 3 of The PACSMan Pontificates podcast series, Michael Cannavo, AKA the PACSMan, assesses the current state of AI.
What’s more, episode 11 of the Women’s Imaging MinnieCast series includes a discussion on the use of AI to predict breast cancer risk. You can access these and our other selection of podcasts on the AuntMinnie Podcast Network.
In other news, a new immuno-PET tracer has demonstrated potential clinical value in imaging of prostate cancer. Researchers have also reported success from a quality improvement program that utilizes RIS system log data to cut CT exam turnaround times and shorten daily operations.
