Areas of pathological tau accumulation appear in red. The MK6240 scan shows more extensive tau buildup, suggesting that this tracer may detect Alzheimer’s-related brain changes that are less visible with the standard tracer.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ultrasound/article/15826316/aium-ultrasound-helps-find-nanoplastics-in-endometrial-polypsAuntMinnieen2026-05-29T13:38:25.000ZAIUM: Ultrasound helps find nanoplastics in endometrial polypshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/img-6806.mdR9TeTiHr.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Hailie Ciomperlik, MD, from Baylor University presents her team's results at AIUM 2026, showing how a multimodal approach featuring ultrasound shows nanoplastic retention within endometrial polyps.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15826286/amyloid-pet-positivity-rates-differ-by-ethnoracial-groupAuntMinnieen2026-05-28T20:12:23.000ZAmyloid PET positivity rates differ by ethnoracial grouphttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/ad.XWlNkQrFod.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/brain-puzzle-stars-social.7qkAmu8vgi.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/practice-management/administration/economics/article/15826287/healthcare-administrative-partners-legislation-and-regulations-that-could-affect-radiology-practicesAuntMinnieen2026-05-28T20:03:59.000ZLegislation and regulations that could affect radiology practiceshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/sandy-coffta-headshot-2026.IviakiQilI.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Sandy Cofftahttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/sandy-coffta-headshot-2026-thumb.aUzgtLu8LK.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ultrasound/article/15826275/aium-ai-has-evolving-role-in-ultrasoundAuntMinnieen2026-05-28T18:45:34.000ZAIUM: AI has evolving role in ultrasoundhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/img-6777.3tktxo69bk.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Alison Noble, PhD, from the University of Oxford shares work that she and colleagues have been working on toward AI in ultrasound at AIUM 2026.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ultrasound/article/15826253/aium-attitudes-on-pocus-use-in-pediatric-icus-vary-among-departmentsAuntMinnieen2026-05-28T17:51:27.000ZAIUM: Attitudes on POCUS use in pediatric ICUs vary among departmentshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/img-6751.Kan3kyVCFQ.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Kortney Weeks, MD, presents findings at AIUM 2026 showing how pediatric critical care programs use POCUS.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15826111/aipowered-mri-technique-maps-brain-fluid-flow-tied-to-alzheimersAuntMinnieen2026-05-27T18:00:00.000ZAI-powered MRI technique maps brain fluid flow tied to Alzheimer'shttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/mri-brain.6x6n2OtmOk.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70A 3D visualization shows the flow speed of fluid across the brain.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ct/article/15826122/fat-deposits-found-on-prepandemic-ct-exams-predict-covid19-severityAuntMinnieen2026-05-27T17:42:13.000ZFat deposits found on pre-pandemic CT exams predict COVID-19 severity https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/fat-tissue.sEm4NKhG7R.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ultrasound/article/15826019/ceus-shows-promise-in-patients-with-fontanassociated-liver-diseaseAuntMinnieen2026-05-26T20:30:01.000ZCEUS shows promise in patients with Fontan-associated liver diseasehttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/ceus-liver-nodules.mh6mMBNMJa.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70A visual abstract of the study.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/digital-x-ray/article/15825999/study-highlights-overconfidence-in-medical-decisionmakingAuntMinnieen2026-05-26T19:13:10.000ZStudy highlights overconfidence in medical decision-makinghttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/bercovich-ackerman-radiology-decision-making-05-26-26.gjnaYs997B.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Bar graphs show mean success (blue) and confidence (orange) according to diagnostic response (lesion present or absent, shown as “present” and “absent,” respectively) and next-step decision (submit, additional tests, and consult a senior) for each group (radiologists and nonradiologists).

(A) Sagittal image shows a left anterior middle cerebral artery medium-vessel occlusion (MeVO) with a calcified thrombus (arrow). (B–D) Axial images show the (B) arterial, (C) peak venous, and (D) delayed venous phases of the baseline multiphase CTA examination. The affected brain parenchyma is highlighted by the dashed outline. The collateral status is good, with early filling of more than 50% of the leptomeningeal collaterals compared with the contralateral side in the arterial phase (B), and there is no delayed washout in the peak venous (C) or delayed venous phase (D). (E) Sagittal image shows a left anterior middle cerebral artery MeVO (arrow). (F–H) Axial images show the (F) arterial, (G) peak venous, and (H) delayed venous phases of the baseline multiphase CTA examination. The affected brain parenchyma is highlighted by the dashed outline. The collateral status is moderate (more than 25% but less than 50% filling of the leptomeningeal collaterals in the affected territory compared with the contralateral side) on the arterial (F) and peak venous (G) phase, and there is delayed washout in the late venous phase (H). (I) Sagittal image shows a posterior dominant middle cerebral artery MeVO (arrow). (J–L) Axial images show the (J) arterial, (K) peak venous, and (L) delayed venous phases of the baseline multiphase CTA examination. The affected brain parenchyma is highlighted by the dashed outline. The collateral status is poor, with almost no collateral filling.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15825997/ai-diagnostic-aid-helps-novice-mri-readers-but-experts-not-so-muchAuntMinnieen2026-05-26T18:28:30.000ZAI diagnostic aid helps novice MRI readers, but experts not so muchhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/image.K2Y8mQrYUS.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Sample cases. (A) The correct diagnosis was progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Although GPT-4.1 suggested the correct diagnosis based on imaging findings from both the neurosurgery resident and the  neuroradiologist, only the neurosurgery resident benefited from it, though their diagnostic confidence remained low. (B) The correct diagnosis was subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. Although GPT-4.1 suggested the correct diagnosis based on the imaging findings provided by the neuroradiologist, neither of the two readers benefited from it. Imaging descriptions were translated from German to English for illustration purposes.https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/chatgpt-3.a6cg3HOjQs.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/ultrasound/article/15825979/aium-president-talks-annual-meeting-ultrasounds-evolving-roleAuntMinnieen2026-05-26T17:15:54.000ZAIUM president talks annual meeting, ultrasound's evolving rolehttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/jones-david.305c3Gl4dp.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70David Jones, MD, AIUM presidenthttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/jones-david.vQGrVA2Fv1.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70David Jones, MD, AIUM president
