Dr. Linda Chu speaks with Dr. Suhny Abbara, the new Editor-in-Chief of Radiology, about his global journey in academic radiology and medical publishing. Dr. Abbara shares his vision for advancing imaging science, embracing innovation such as AI, and shaping the future of the journal to improve patient care.

Dr. Refky Nicola speaks with Dr. Sven Haller about the current clinical use of AI-accelerated MRI, exploring how these techniques improve scan speed, patient comfort, workflow efficiency, and image quality. They also examine key challenges including hallucinations, validation gaps, economic considerations, and the need for clear standards to guide safe and effective adoption.

This episode reviews recent evidence on microwave and radiofrequency ablation as minimally invasive treatments for primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, highlighting efficacy, safety, and complication profiles compared with surgery. Focusing on a multicenter prospective Radiology study in older patients, the discussion shows that both ablation techniques achieve meaningful biochemical improvement with acceptable risk, particularly as alternatives for patients who may not be ideal surgical candidates.
