Not sure about you, but I’m kinda obsessed with our Ghibli-style version 🤩😎 #NewYork #Empirestate

We are pleased to acknowledge the help of the following individuals in reviewing manuscripts for the year 2025. These individuals are not part of our Editorial Board. They reviewed the largest number of manuscripts and received the highest scores for their work. Without their efforts, the quality of AJNR would not be what it is. The Editors thank them profoundly and hope they will keep up their good work and perhaps even join us as members of the Editorial Board in the future. ajnr.org/page/content/R… Interested in becoming an AJNR reviewer?

More amazing talks at @TheASNR! Fantastic #neurodegenerative imaging session featuring Drs. @GloriaChiangMD, C. Jack (@MayoRadiology), Wang (@loft_lab), and de Erausquin! Huge thanks to #ASNR26 for organizing such an outstanding meeting! @RadiologyUSC @WCMRadiology #Radiology

Fantastic presentations by Neuroradiology Chiefs Dr. @MichelleRoytman (@WCMRadiology) and Dr. @vinil_shah (@UCSFimaging) at the “Fundamentals of Image-Guided Spine Intervention” course! Huge thanks to @TheASNR for hosting! #Neurorad #Radiology #ASNR26

Fantastic @TheASNR session on Gene & Cell Therapy in Clinical Trials! 🧬 Led by Drs Hess @NeuroDx, Lindan, and Grant, featuring a wonderful talk by @GloriaChiangMD. Great to see such strong neuroradiology engagement! #Radiology @WCMRadiology #BHII @UCSFimaging

One #AI missed 8 in 10 lung CA. Another generated 2,039 false positives. Both are CE-marked (approved in EU) & deployed. How? Recent @RSNA study investigated what "approved" means for #AI in #LungCancer detection on CXR. 👇 @RITEditor @RadiologyEditor @VChernyakMD @SuhnyAbbara

Did you know the Sodium MRI can help detect IDH-mutant astrocytomas? Let’s find out more in this short #RIAM @RITEditor @VChernyakMD @RadiologyEditor Full study in @radiology_rsna: doi.org/10.1148/radiol…

8/8 CT radiomics approach helps uncover hidden tumor biology in HCC and moves us toward more personalized care! Future studies should focus on larger prospective validation and integration into clinical workflows!   Read more📄➡️: pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra…

7/8 Rad-ITF score offers a noninvasive way to grade intratumoral fibrosis, stratify prognosis after TACE, and serve as a surrogate marker for tumor angiogenesis in HCC. It helps identify patients who could benefit from combined TACE and anti-angiogenic therapy.  #RadInTraining

1/8 Can CT radiomics noninvasively detect intratumoral fibrosis in #HCC, predict worse TACE outcomes & ⬆️ angiogenesis? New @radiology_rsna study presents Rad-ITF score, a promising noninvasive biomarker! #RadInTraining #Tweetorial @RITEditor @SuhnyAbbara @VChernyakMD

1/8 🆕 Challenge: some benign lesions fall into O-RADS US 4/5 categories  ⬇️ risk of malignancy (ROM). NEW @RadiologyRSNA study examines these lesions & highlights their key imaging/pathologic features🧵👇 @RITEditor @VChernyakMD #RadInTraining #Tweetorial @RadiologyEditor @SuhnyAbbara @PriyankaJhaMD @LizSadowski @KateMaturen @KPatelLippmann @hanna_zrad @ayakamaya @YangGuo_Rad

🧵 Can routine #MRI show who's at risk for #Cardiometabolic disease before diagnosis? New @Radiology_RSNA study (>11k participants) shows that #muscle composition is strongly linked to hidden risk. pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra… pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra… @RITEditor @RadiologyEditor

Your MRI might be telling you more than you think🧲 Muscle is a biomarker 💪 In 11,348 adults, MRI + deep learning showed: ↑ intermuscular fat (IMAT) = higher cardiometabolic risk, while more lean muscle = more protection (esp. in men) Worth a read 👇 pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra…

#RIAM (Radiology in a Minute)@radiology_rsna Comparative Precision of 3D MRE and 2D MRE for Measurement of Liver Stiffness in Adults with Severe Obesity. Full study link : doi.org/10.1148/radiol… @RITEditor @RadiologyEditor @VChernyakMD #RadInTraining

1/13 🎯 MASLD is the most common chronic liver disease. FDA just approved drugs for fibrotic MASH. To monitor treatment response, we need precise liver stiffness measurements. Do we have the right tool for patients with obesity?
