Run by the Editors-in-Chief of their respective journals, these sessions will turn the spotlight on outstanding articles from 2025, including the Most Cited and Most Downloaded papers!
"This crucial review serves as a stark reminder to the radiology community that AI validation must be age-specific, as children are not simply small adults." - Amit Gupta
buff.ly/8bu6vkU (Lene Bjerke Laborie et al.)
Highly recommend reading this review if you are developing / using any AI workflows, to better understand the urgent need for dedicated pediatric AI development.
27.02.2026 08:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Across 20 studies, performance almost always dropped in children; most dramatically for detection (e.g., pulmonary nodule sensitivity falling from 68β100% in adults to 26β68% in children), with the largest deficits consistently seen in children β€2 years.
27.02.2026 08:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0In this open-access scoping review (2014β2025), the authors synthesized evidence on adult-trained radiology AI models applied βas-isβ to paediatric imaging, spanning radiography, CT, MRI, DEXA, and ultrasound across segmentation, classification, detection, and mixed tasks.

If an AI tool works brilliantly in adultsβ¦ should we trust it in children without paediatric validation? πΆπβ οΈ

buff.ly/eZ0VcKI (Marlin A. A. Reijerink et al.)
Highly recommend reading this systematic review and commentary to fundamentally rethink how we approach long-term oncological follow-up.
26.02.2026 14:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0In the accompanying thought-provoking editorial, Lisa Adams & Keno Bressem call out the βtradition masquerading as prudenceβ problem; and urge us to separate early technical-success imaging from long-term surveillance
26.02.2026 14:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Moreover, across 37 studies (>6000 tumors), more frequent CT did not demonstrate a clear outcome advantage (survival was similar, and recurrence differences were not statistically significant), highlighting how much of our surveillance intensity is driven by habit rather than evidence.
26.02.2026 14:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0In this systematic review, the authors review CT surveillance practices after thermal ablation for clinical T1 RCC, showing that most published follow-up schedules are more intensive than EAU guideline recommendations (and often far beyond them).

"The most exciting promise isnβt βautomationβ; itβs standardization and safety at scale, where reproducible, high-precision movements and lower radiation could make complex IR procedures more consistently achievable across operators and centers." - Amit Gupta
buff.ly/UIlcwEO (Spiliopoulos et al.)
Worth a quick read if you want to understand the current capabilities and future trajectory of robotics in minimally invasive therapies.

They highlight early clinical signals suggesting robotics can cut procedure time (~30%), reduce radiation exposure, and potentially improve ablation efficacy versus free-hand approaches (reported 88% vs 76%), while also outlining the key barriers: cost, logistics, and training needs
26.02.2026 08:01 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0
In this ESR βInnovation in Focusβ commentary, the authors give a crisp state-of-the-art update on where robotic systems already fit into IR workflows; from needle-based biopsies/ablations to emerging endovascular robotics.
