An image-only AI model for predicting the 5-year risk of breast cancer provided stronger and more precise risk stratification than breast density assessment, according to a new study being presented next week at #RSNA25. For patient-friendly information on breast imaging, visit tinyurl.com/45kxx6na
AI Tops Density in Predicting Breast Cancer Risk An AI model for predicting the five-year risk of breast cancer provided stronger and more precise risk stratification than breast density assessment. The model was applied to over 245,000 screening mammograms from five U.S. sites and one European site. Women in the high-risk AI group had more than a fourfold higher cancer incidence than women in the average-risk group, while breast density alone showed only modest separation.

The brain’s waste-clearing system significantly declines in function with repeated head impacts, according to a new study of cognitively impaired professional fighters. The findings will be presented next week at #RSNA25. For patient-friendly information on brain MRI, visit tinyurl.com/45fumjn3
Pro Fighters Risk Damage to the Brain’s ‘Garbage Disposal’ The waste-clearing glymphatic system in a professional fighter significantly declines in function with repeated head impacts. The glymphatic system is a network of fluid-filled channels that plays a crucial role in clearing waste products from the brain. Repeated head impacts are risk factors for neurodegenerative disorders, such as dementia.

The shape of the gluteus maximus muscle changes in different ways with aging, lifestyle, frailty, osteoporosis and type 2 diabetes, differing between women and men, according to new research being presented next week at #RSNA25. For more info on musculoskeletal MRI, visit tinyurl.com/544w723e
Shape of Your Behind May Signal Diabetes Changes in the shape of the gluteus maximus muscle in the buttocks are significantly associated with type-2 diabetes. Men with diabetes showed muscle shrinkage, while women with diabetes showed enlarged muscles, likely due to fat infiltration. MRI 3D mapping showed people with higher fitness had a greater gluteus maximus shape, while aging, frailty and long sitting times were linked to muscle thinning.

Using a deep learning AI model, researchers identified the first-of-its-kind biomarker of chronic stress detectable through routine imaging, according to research being presented next week at #RSNA25. For patient-friendly information on chest CT, visit tinyurl.com/4a7hshbd
AI Detects First Imaging Biomarker of Chronic Stress Researchers have validated the first-of-its-kind biomarker of chronic stress detectable through routine chest CT. Unlike single cortisol measurements, which provide a momentary snapshot of stress levels, adrenal volume reflects cumulative exposure to stress. Chronic stress can contribute to the development of major illnesses, such as heart disease, depression and obesity. Increases in adrenal volume index were linked to greater risk of heart failure and mortality.

Researchers have found that a specific body profile—higher muscle mass combined with a lower visceral fat to muscle ratio—tracks with a younger brain age, according to a study being presented next week at #RSNA25. For patient-friendly information on MRI, visit tinyurl.com/2y77sme3
More Muscle, Less Belly Fat Slows Brain Aging A specific body profile—higher muscle mass with a lower visceral fat to muscle ratio—tracks with a younger brain age. Muscle mass, as measured by MRI, can be a surrogate marker for various interventions to reduce frailty and improve brain health. Subcutaneous fat showed no significant association with brain age.
