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

Is it time to rethink how we screen for #HCC? Ultrasound remains the cornerstone of HCC surveillance, but one size may not fit all! In this @RSNA News feature, I discuss the growing role of abbreviated MRI, biomarkers & personalized surveillance. rsna.org/news/2026/october/l…

The artery is open. Is the brain actually getting blood? 🧠🤔 My latest #RIAM explores no-reflow on perfusion imaging after thrombectomy and why reopening the artery is only part of the story. 📄 doi.org/10.1148/radiol.25302… @radiology_rsna @VChernyakMD @RITEditor @SuhnyAbbara

1/10 🧵 Can native T1 value be compared across mapping sequences? 🫀 Can ECV? 🆕 in @Radiology_RSNA. Spoiler: no. And yes. 1237 participants scanned with both MOLLI and ShMOLLI at 3T. #ECEB #Tweetorial @RITEditor @RadiologyEditor @VChernyakMD @SuhnyAbbara

1/10 Can baseline #MRI hydrocephalus features predict cognitive decline at a population level? 🧠 New @radiology_rsna study evaluates DESH markers in 2,133 older adults over 5–7 years of follow-up! #RadInTraining #Tweetorial @RITEditor @RadiologyEditor @VChernyakMD @SuhnyAbbara

8/10 The combination of THC + ESF predicted subsequent decline in the combined cohort (OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.16–2.87, P = 0.04). Conversely, ventricular enlargement alone (EI > 0.3) or complete DESH showed insufficient evidence of predicting cognitive decline after correction.

9/10 Takeaway: Identifying tight high-convexity sulci on brain #MRI provides crucial early risk stratification for cognitive decline in older adults. Future work with longitudinal imaging is needed to track progression over time! ➡️ 📄  pubs.rsna.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

Can MRI hint at cognitive decline years before symptoms appear? In 2,133 older adults, high-convexity sulcal tightness 🧠was linked to nearly 3× higher odds of cognitive decline 📉 over 5–7 years. More in this week’s #RadiologyInAMinute! doi.org/10.1148/radiol.25328…

Had a great time speaking @theASFNR in Newport Beach on #Alzheimer's biomarkers, with @cyrusraji, @AFrances_MDPhD, and Petrice Cogswell. Congratulations to @VinceKumarMD for a wonderful meeting!
Wonderful talk by Dr. @GloriaChiangMD on "How to Approach Discordant Biomarkers in Clinical Practice" at #ASFNR26! Brilliant breakdown of complex clinical cases in #Alzheimer’s disease, plasma biomarkers vs PET, & Centiloid quantification! @theASFNR @WCMRadiology

1/8 🧵 Can #HCC extend beyond the margin we see on grayscale ultrasound? New @radiology_rsna study explores “perfusion beyond margin” (PBM), #CEUS feature that may peak into tumor aggressiveness & prognosis. #RadInTraining @RITEditor @RadiologyEditor @SuhnyAbbara @VChernyakMD
