AI model detects achalasia on chest x-rays

Currently, few noninvasive tests are available for diagnosing the swallowing condition.

September 18, 2025

Saliency maps using Grad-CAM++ (E and H) show the model’s point of interest in chest radiographs (C and F) of patients with achalasia. The model’s point of interest is highlighted with red, yellow, and green. In both the upper and lower panels (E and H), the point of interest is located in a region around the upper esophagus that corresponds to an air esophagogram and/or air-fluid level in the esophagus in the barium esophagogram (D and G).

ISMRM: 4D MRI reveals heart impairments in patients with COPD

Research presented at ISMRM 2025 highlighted how 4D flow MRI reveals cardiopulmonary hemodynamic interaction in patients with COPD.

May 12, 2025

Examples of hemodynamic parameter maps superimposed on their corresponding anatomic data for two participants. Participant A represents an example of good flow with lower right ventricle stasis, increased right atrium kinetic energy, and increased mean velocity when compared to the sample’s average calculations. Opposite findings are highlighted by the visualizations of participant B representing an example of poor flow.

ISMRM: Brain’s waste-clearing system accelerates brain aging after stroke

The brain’s glymphatic system appears to accelerate brain aging in patients after ischemic stroke.

May 10, 2025

Representative T2-FLAIR, CBF maps, choroid plexus segment, free-water maps, ALPS ROI, and 3D T1BRAVO from a stroke patient, and a healthy control. Both individuals are 64 years old in chronological age. The patient displays an evident ischemic lesion in the basal ganglia region on T2-FLAIR imaging. The distinctions between the patient and the healthy control are as follows: CBF (32.22 ml/100g/min vs. 47.70 ml/100g/min), CPVF (1.47 vs. 0.84), VCSFVF (32.50 vs. 11.00), MSFW (0.0455 vs. 0.0313), ALPS (1.04 vs. 1.54), and BPAD (13.21 vs. -1.60).

Children

Imaging linked to blood cancers in children and adolescents

Diagnostic transverse ultrasound image of the left breast in a 64-year-old woman shows irregular hypoechoic nonparallel mass with indistinct margins corresponding to palpable finding, assessed as BI-RADS category 4. Both readers assessed mass as having associated echogenic rind with complete circumferential extent (arrowheads). Ultrasound-guided biopsy of mass yielded diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (intermediate grade, luminal A molecular subtype, no lymphovascular invasion).
