Operational applications drive AI adoption in radiology
When talking about artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology, one immediately thinks of the classic clinical use case of computer vision and powerful algorithms identifying abnormalities on imaging studies. Operational applications of AI, however, will likely be the first to be widely adopted.

Slab reconstruction provides visualization of subtle architectural distortion similar to that of standard 1-mm slices in a false-positive screening exam. Images include breast exams from a 45-year-old woman who underwent screening mammography. Craniocaudal tomosynthesis images with (A) 1-mm slices and (B) 6-mm slab reconstructions show an area of architectural distortion in the subareolar region of the left breast (arrow). (C) Targeted ultrasound imaging shows a corresponding irregular hypoechoic mass (arrow), which was subsequently biopsied. Pathologic examination revealed a sclerosing papillary lesion.

SNMMI: CAIX-targeted PET tracer detects clear cell renal cell carcinoma
By Liz Carey
Researchers aim for "more precise molecular map" for kidney cancer.
June 1, 2026
A 68Ga-RCC78 PET scan (C) of a patient four years post-radical right nephrectomy. During follow-up, new nodules were detected in the left adrenal gland and kidney. CAIX-targeted scan clearly visualized metastatic lesions in the mediastinum, pancreas, adrenal gland, and kidney (SUVmax > 30), demonstrating the tracer's ability to maintain high tumor uptake despite significantly reduced abdominal background.

SNMMI: PET tracer that detects deep vein thrombosis wins Image of the Year

F-18 GP1 is derived from elarofiban and selectively binds to glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors on activated platelets.

(Left) F-18 GP1 PET/CT images from a 75-year-old woman show multiple blood clots in the deep veins of the left leg (from the thigh to the calf), as well as several clots in the right calf. Venous ultrasound confirms blood clots in left thigh, knee and calf veins. PET/CT also detects clots in both lungs, which are confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT image. (Right) 18F-GP1 PET/CT images from a 70-year-old woman show widespread blood clots throughout the body. In addition to clots in the deep veins of both legs and the arteries of both lungs (A), the scan also detected unexpected clots in several other areas, including blood vessels near the skull/head (B), spine (C), heart (D), and pelvis (E). Further evaluation revealed that the patient had antiphospholipid syndrome, an autoimmune condition that increases the risk of abnormal blood clot formation.
