The pale orange oval represents the tumor within the liver, and the pie-shaped region encompassed by the black lines represents the angiosome. (A) An adequate ATR (≥16) is reached when treating tumor and an accompanying appropriate volume of expendable surrounding normal parenchyma, such as a 2.5-cm tumor within a 150-mL treatment angiosome. Lower (inadequate) ATR can occur with superselective administrations, such as (B) attempting to treat a larger (4-cm) tumor within the same 150-mL angiosome, which proves suboptimal, and (C) attempting to treat the same 2.5-cm tumor within a reduced angiosome (40 mL).https://www.auntminnie.com/editors-note/article/15824311/auntminnie-womens-imaging-insiderAuntMinnieen2026-05-05T19:06:12.000ZAuntMinnie Women's Imaging Insiderhttps://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/womens-imaging/article/15824306/cardiac-devices-affect-mammography-image-qualityAuntMinnieen2026-05-05T18:15:12.000ZCardiac devices affect mammography image qualityhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/pacemaker-heart-400.XhgYivy3bH.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15824299/mri-reveals-how-hidden-muscle-fat-increases-risk-to-heart-metabolismAuntMinnieen2026-05-05T18:04:52.000ZMRI reveals how hidden muscle fat increases risk to heart, metabolismhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/fat-tissue.p77AZ4FjRR.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/ziegelmayer.m0jOxvuI3P.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Exemplary cases across four intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT)–lean muscle mass (LMM) z score combinations. The figure shows four LMM-IMAT combinations in women (top row) and men (bottom row). From right to left, the panels show axial T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo images of the thoracic and lumbar regions in individuals with high LMM and low IMAT and with low LMM and high IMAT. Participants were randomly selected from the highest or lowest quartile of each respective LMM-IMAT combination and were of similar age (44 years ± 2 [SD]) and body mass index in weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (21 ± 2). Segmentation masks for intermuscular fat and lean muscle are displayed in the top right corner of each region.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/mri/article/15824240/whole-body-mri-deeplearning-can-map-distribution-of-fat-and-muscleAuntMinnieen2026-05-05T14:48:26.000ZWhole body MRI, deep-learning can 'map' distribution of fat and muscle https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/body-comp.XgAjTfPj1W.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Overview of the study design. (A) The fully automated deep learning framework was developed to estimate body composition (BC) (defined as subcutaneous adipose tissue [SAT] in liters; visceral adipose tissue [VAT] in liters; skeletal muscle [SM] in liters; SM fat fraction [SMFF] as a percentage; and intramuscular adipose tissue [IMAT] in deciliters) from MRI. The fully automated framework comprised one model (model 1) to quantify different BC measures (SAT, VAT, SM, SMFF, and IMAT) as three-dimensional (3D) measures from whole-body MRI scans. The second model (model 2) was trained to identify standardized anatomic landmarks along the craniocaudal body axis (z coordinate field), which allowed for subdividing the whole-body measures into different subregions typically examined on clinical routine MRI scans (chest, abdomen, and pelvis). (B) BC was quantified from whole-body MRI in over 66,000 individuals from two large population-based cohort studies, the UK Biobank (UKB) (36,317 individuals) and the German National Cohort (NAKO) (30,291 individuals). Bar graphs show age distribution by sex and cohort. BMI = body mass index. (C) After the performance assessment of the fully automated framework, the change in BC measures, distributions, and profiles across age decades were investigated. Age-, sex-, and height-adjusted body composition reference curves were calculated and made publicly available in a web-based <i>z</i>-score calculator <i>(</i>https://circ-ml.github.io<i>)</i>.https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/womens-imaging/breast/article/15824187/ai-triage-flags-half-of-screendetected-cancers-in-top-2-of-scansAuntMinnieen2026-05-04T20:41:25.000ZAI triage flags half of screen-detected cancers in top 2% of scanshttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/mammo-reading.B2U1QYBM54.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/radiation-oncology-therapy/article/15824170/will-upright-radiotherapy-become-a-new-standardAuntMinnieen2026-05-04T18:59:28.000ZWill upright radiotherapy become a new standard?https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/rt-upright.3NVQAM0PFZ.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/womens-imaging/article/15824041/dl-model-outperforms-breast-density-in-measuring-womens-cancer-riskAuntMinnieen2026-05-04T15:05:00.000ZDL model outperforms breast density in measuring women's cancer riskhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/breast-mammo-computer-400-3.n0H2KYsUzY.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70https://www.auntminnie.com/editors-note/article/15824035/week-in-review-radiologist-for-surgeon-general-spectct-for-prostate-cancer-therapy-assessment-ai-and-patient-riskAuntMinnieen2026-05-01T20:32:43.000ZWeek in Review: Radiologist for surgeon general? | SPECT/CT for prostate cancer therapy assessment | AI and patient riskhttps://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15823994/chinese-scientists-develop-wearable-brain-pet-systemAuntMinnieen2026-05-01T19:50:32.000ZChinese scientists develop wearable brain PET systemhttps://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/05/wearable-pet.CVtSs3fCRK.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70(A) System comprises detectors and silicon photomultipliers with custom Hoffman brain phantom.
