Dear AuntMinnie member,
Before we get to this week’s top stories, I’m pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for our annual awards program recognizing excellence in radiology — the Minnies. Do you know some worthy candidates for Minnies awards in categories such as Most Influential Radiology Researcher, Most Effective Radiology Educator, and Best New Radiology Software? Let us know by filling out our nominations survey. Semifinalists for the 2026 Minnies will be announced in September.
Our most highly viewed article of the week reported on a new study detailing the concentrated pattern of skull, brain, and eye injuries on CT among survivors of the mass pager explosions in Lebanon in 2024. Learn more in our most highly viewed article of the week.
Next on the list was our report on the early benefit of lutetium-177 prostate-specific membrane antigen-617 (Pluvicto) in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
In other news, the American College of Radiology has released its new Pulmonary Embolism Reporting and Data Systems (PE-RADS) framework for diagnosing and classifying acute pulmonary embolism using CT and MR angiography exams. Also, stroke-related imaging times can be significantly reduced by installing a CT scanner adjacent to the emergency department, according to a new study. Click here for all of the details.
Episode 13 of our Ultrasound MinnieCast podcast series is now available. In this installment, Associate Editor Amerigo Allegretto talked with new American Society of Echocardiography President Cynthia Taub, MD, about the current state of echo.
