Quantitative 99mTc-PYP SPECT/CT at 90 minutes improves diagnostic stratification in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis

 Published on 30/07/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Tina Nazerani-Zemann et al. | European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (2026).

Scintigraphy using 99mTc-labeled bone-seeking tracers is a cornerstone in the non-invasive diagnosis of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). However, planar imaging alone, particularly in patients with Perugini score 1, often lacks diagnostic specificity. This study evaluates the incremental...

Automated ultrasound with AI for osteophyte grading in hand osteoarthritis: comparison with expert rheumatologist assessment

 Published on 23/07/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Frederiksen, Bill Aplin et al. | BMC Rheumatology. Volume 10(1).

The of this study was to characterise the agreement of the CE-certified automated robotic ultrasound system ARTHUR v.2.0, combined with the AI model DIANA v.2.0, for grading osteophytes in hand osteoarthritis (OA), using expert rheumatologist assessment as the reference standard. Methods: Thirty patients...

Deep learning for automated diagnosis and differentiation of otitis media on temporal bone CT

 Published on 16/07/2026 |  Original article (Full-text)  | Tang, Yong et al. | BMC Medical Imaging. Volume 26(1).

The accurate diagnosis of otitis media (OM) has long been a challenge for clinicians (especially for less experienced clinicians) due to the variety of types and the complex anatomical structures of the middle ear. Although deep learning (DL) based on different examination methods (mostly otoscopy) has...
