In this episode, host Dr. Refky Nicola speaks with Dr. Francesco Giganti and Dr. Alex Kirkham about how MRI is used to guide active surveillance in prostate cancer, including the role of PRECISE scoring in tracking disease progression. They share practical insights on imaging techniques, measurement challenges, and how emerging AI tools may improve consistency and decision-making in surveillance care.

Dr. Ashwin Singh Parihar sits down with Dr. Iben Lyskjær and Dr. Tommy Kjærgaard Nielsen to unpack new nationwide registry data comparing ablation and surgical approaches for small renal masses. Together, they explore how minimally invasive treatments stack up in real-world practice and what the findings mean for patient selection, outcomes, and future care decisions.

In this episode, Dr. Linda Chu reviews new Radiology studies exploring how photon counting CT is transforming thoracic imaging with ultra‑high resolution and dramatically lower radiation and contrast doses. She examines whether these visually striking images translate into better diagnostic confidence and meaningful improvements in patient care for emphysema and lung cancer imaging.
