Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Our most highly viewed article of the week featured coverage of the RSNA’s Lumbar Degenerative Imaging Spine Classification (LumbarDISC) dataset. Published last week, the annotated MRI lumbar spondylosis dataset was initially created for the RSNA 2025 Lumbar Spine Degenerative Classification AI Challenge as well as future research.
Our readers were also interested in a feature on what it takes to be a certified radiology equipment specialist and our write-up on a promising new imaging system that combines rotational ultrasound with photoacoustic tomography.
Other popular stories highlighted topics such as how to ease the increased workload from patient access to imaging reports and whether risk-based breast cancer screening may be more beneficial for patients.
In addition, researchers have found that cardiac PET imaging can predict atrial fibrillation and that dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans show how in-flight exercise regimens can help maintain bone microarchitecture in astronauts on long space missions.
See below for the full list of top stories for the week.
