New scanners at the UCSF Neuroimaging Technology Research Center let Congyu Liao trace brain fibers in living patients at a level of detail once possible only after death. His work follows how myelination changes across a lifetime. bit.ly/3TknKDs

As #AI stirs fears that scans could be faked, @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's @monganmd.bsky.social offers a measured take in #RadiologyToday. Medical images, he says, stay tightly controlled & secured from the scanner to the reading room.

The Real Deal on Synthetic Images - Radiology Today Magazine

Even radiologists and AI programs have difficulty spotting the differences between real and synthetic images, but the threat to health care is relatively low.

Congratulations to Minjie Zhu, PhD, on receiving Summa Cum Laude honors at ISMRM 2026 for his research on treatment response assessment in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma using hyperpolarized 13C metabolic MRI. #UCSFProud

Closing out #AAPM26, @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Wenxuan Li presents AI-assisted pancreatic target delineation on CT in a scientific session, validated across multiple centers & paired with contouring quality checks. Coauthored with Drs. Kang Wang, Yang Yang & colleagues.

An integrated metric for assessing radiopharmaceutical dose-response and relative biological effectiveness, based on in vivo tumor growth. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Robin Peter presents in a scientific session this afternoon at #AAPM26. Senior authors are Drs. Rob Flavell & Youngho Seo.

Foundation models are general-purpose #AI systems that can adapt across many imaging tasks, & they are one of the biggest talking points in the field right now. @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Yang Yang gives an invited talk on where they fit in medical imaging. #AAPM26

Today at #AAPM26, @ucsfimaging.bsky.social's Dr. Mike Hoff examines how #AI is changing the MRI physicist's work, and asks whether it can augment the role itself.

Testing whether vision language models can read a glioma MRI, Dr. Bo Liu built a new benchmark from public multi-parametric MRI & health record data, with senior authors Drs. Janine Lupo & Hui Lin. Hear more from @Uucsfimaging.bsky.social this afternoon at #AAPM26.
