Dr. Steve Hetts & collaborators designed 3D printed biosponge adsorbers that capture excess chemotherapy before it reaches the heart and kidneys, reducing cardiac accumulation by 50%. Published as the @ACSPublications cover story: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Dr. @CMGlastonbury of @UCSFimaging delivered her @ARRS_Radiology presidential address at #ARRS26 with a clear message: AI does not shrink the radiologist's role. It makes their judgment more essential than ever. bit.ly/3OyusUq

In @radiology_rsna, @UCSFimaging researchers found that eating more ultra-processed foods means more thigh muscle fat, regardless of calorie intake or physical activity. First author #postdoc Zehra Akkaya, senior author Dr. Thomas Link. pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra…

Introducing Breast Imaging faculty who recently joined @UCSFimaging. Dr. Ivy Ewald did global health work in Nepal & researches same-day biopsies in safety-net settings. Dr. Connie Lu focuses on healthcare economics & equitable patient access. Welcome! radiology.ucsf.edu/news/ucsf-welc…

In @TheAJNR, @UCSFimaging's Dr. Christopher Hess (@NeuroDx) & collaborators survey U.S. neuroradiology departments on #AI adoption. While 81% report using AI, cost, integration challenges & limited efficacy evidence remain the biggest barriers. doi.org/10.3174/ajnr.A…

To the administrative professionals at @UCSFimaging: the work you do makes this department possible. Not in a small way. In every way. Thank you today & every day. Happy #AdminProfessionalsDay!

What happens in the brain when you feel joy? How does reading shape a teenager's mind? Our neuropsychiatry research roundup covers all of this & more, spanning emotion, OCD, autism, epilepsy & traumatic brain injury. radiology.ucsf.edu/news/neuropsyc…

Dr. Salil Soman (@SalSoman10) presents at the upcoming CIDMI Seminar Series. His talk covers susceptibility MR imaging, including SWI, QSM, & OEF MRI, & how these methods detect tissue iron, hemorrhage, & metabolic stress invisible to conventional imaging. radiology.ucsf.edu/events/cidmi-s…

Two new faces have joined @UCSFimaging faculty. Dr. Hamed Kordbacheh brings expertise in abdominal imaging & dual-energy CT, while Dr. Christopher Murphy comes to us from the U.S. Navy, with a background that includes Arctic expeditions. Welcome to both! radiology.ucsf.edu/news/welcoming…

For patients with advanced, treatment-refractory cancers, the biggest health risk is the cancer, not radiopharmaceutical therapy. New research by @UCSFimaging's @thomashopemd makes the case for rethinking dose optimization. More in @JournalofNucMed: doi.org/10.2967/jnumed…

Breast imaging guidelines were not built with every patient in mind. @UCSFimaging's Dr. Jessica Hayward addresses the gaps at #SBI2026 today, focusing on male, transgender & young patients. @BreastImaging

Some of the most valuable learning at a conference happens when you can ask the questions you actually have. @UCSFimaging's Dr. Edward Sickles is ready for them at the Ask the Experts session at #SBI2026 today. @BreastImaging

Protocol standardization in breast MRI is not just an administrative detail. It directly affects how well biomarkers perform. @UCSFimaging's Dr. Pouya Metanat (@MetanatPouya) makes that case in his educational exhibit at #SBI2026.

A radiologic-pathologic mismatch that goes unrecognized can have serious consequences. @UCSFimaging resident Dr. Nikita Deshpande (@NikitaMD_) breaks down how to catch & manage discordance in her #SBI2026 educational exhibit, available online.

For breast imaging programs thinking about AI-based screening workflows, @UCSFimaging's Ashley Cheng has built a practical framework worth studying. Check out her #SBI2026 educational exhibit, available online. @BreastImaging

Axillary findings & imaging in pregnant and lactating patients are two areas where experience matters enormously. @UCSFimaging's Dr. Heather Greenwood (@drheatherilana) brings both to a case-based session at #SBI2026 this afternoon. @BreastImaging

Hearing how an expert actually does it is different from reading about it. Today at #SBI2026, @UCSFimaging's @BonnieJoeMD walks through her breast MRI approach. @BreastImaging

CEM & ultrasound-guided biopsy skills do not develop overnight. @UCSFimaging's Dr. Shirley Chou shares practical guidance for every level of experience this afternoon at #SBI2026. @BreastImaging

Fellowship directors & residency educators, this one is for you. Today at #SBI2026, @UCSFimaging's Dr. Elissa Price shares what goes into building a #BreastImaging training program that works. @BreastImaging
