This activity is designed to review the history of MRI as it relate to prostate cancer/prostate brachytherapy, define the current standard of MRI application for prostate diseases, and instruct participants on how to integrate MRI into their brachytherapy practice. Following successful completion, participants will be able to successfully transition toward MRI-based prostate brachytherapy.

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.
