Ultrasound MinnieCast, Episode 15: Wearable ultrasound making strides

August 21, 2026

True-positive PSMA-PET with positive MRI in 74-year-old male with prostate cancer (Gleason score of 4 + 5; left anterior and posterior apex positive cores). (A) Left posterior peripheral apical to midprostate hyposignal visible on transaxial MRI. (B) No definite CT correlate evident (white arrow). (C) Focal high PSMA expression detectable in left posterior mid to base with SUVmax of 12.4 on transaxial fused delayed pelvic PET/CT (yellow arrow). (D) Focal high PSMA expression found in left midgland to base of prostate on maximum-intensity-projection image (yellow arrow).

How much surveillance imaging is needed for meningiomas?

By Amerigo Allegretto

Most surveillance MRI or CT exams did not result in intervention, and treatment rates remained stable during the study period.

AI framework could improve MRI quality control in prostate cancer

By Amerigo Allegretto

The framework uses a DL model trained on low- and high-quality MR images and helped improve radiologist accuracy.

August 19, 2026

Low-quality axial T2-weighted MRI scans with gradient-weighted class activation mapping. The low-quality MRI scans (top row) show blurred structures and artifacts making zonal and capsule boundaries indistinguishable. On the same scans with gradient-weighted class activation map overlays (bottom row), red indicates regions that were most heavily weighted by the deep learning model toward the low-quality prediction.

New immuno-PET tracer shows promise in lung cancer

Molecular imaging can provide whole-body visualization and quantitative assessment of PD-L1 expression.

(A) Ga-68 NK224 PET/CT maximum intensity projection image (left), axial PET/CT images (center), and axial CT images (right) in a 43-year-old female participant with lung adenocarcinoma show lesions in the right cerebellum (blue arrow), right frontal lobe (red arrow), and sternum (green arrow) with low, intermediate, and high tracer uptake, respectively. Photomicrographs (scale bar, 100 μm) with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining (center bottom) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemical (IHC) staining (right bottom) show high PD-L1 expression in the sternal lesion (tumor proportion score ≥ 50%).

AI fracture detection device validated across three European hospitals

No differences in AI performance were observed across centers, and AI assistance was associated with higher reader sensitivity.

August 18, 2026

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.
