Tau PET tracer flags early Alzheimer risk in healthy older adults
Few studies have investigated how F-18 PI-2620 is associated with memory performance or AD-related biomarkers in cognitively unimpaired older adults.
Top eight incorrectly classified synthetic images (Most convincing fake images). Images A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H were the most infrequently correctly classified images at 24%, 43%, 59%, 64%, 69%, 71%, 71% and 73% respectively. All images are AI-generated. Images A, B and C are head CTs. Images D and E are chest CTs. Image F is a cardiac CT. Image G is a musculoskeletal MRI. Image H is a head MRI.

Incorrect AI suggestions influence reader performance on mammography
By Amerigo Allegretto
The biggest impact on reader performance stemmed from false-negative AI suggestions.
July 14, 2026
A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.

Representative participant from each group shown. C-11 DTBZ non-displaceable binding potential (BPND) in voxels quantitated with simplified reference tissue model 2. Color scale indicates C-11 DTBZ BPND from 0 (black) to 3.5 (red), with reduced C-11 DTBZ BPND observed in the long COVID case compared to both healthy controls.
