Week in Review: Match Day 2026 | AI and lung nodules | An RT weighs in on MRI safety

Dear AuntMinnie Member,

In this week's top story, we reported on the results of Match Day 2026, which showed a dramatic increase in interventional radiology positions, signaling high demand in the specialty. Click here for the full details.

Also of interest to our readers was a study that found mixed results from using AI to detect lung nodules on low-dose CT. Although AI helped flag more nodules, it didn't reduce interpretation time. 

Our third most popular article was a contributed column from Radiologic Technologist Kelly Brock, who weighed in on MRI safety. She argued that imaging staff know better when it comes to following protocols but don't always do better.

Fourth on the list was a piece outlining research presented at the recent European Association of Urology (EAU) 2026 congress in London that highlighted imaging advances in prostate cancer screening over the past three decades.  

Last but certainly not least in the week's top five stories was our coverage of a study that supports the use of SPECT in Pluvicto patients.
