Amplifying the impact of original research through visual media: the importance of graphical abstracts.

A new Editorial by our Social Media Editor, @brenkelly.bsky.social, looks at the decision to adopt graphical abstracts as part of the publication process at #EuropeanRadiology.

A recent #EuropeanRadiologyExperimental study comparing #ChatGPT-4 and #Gemini in analyzing adult brain CT referrals showed limited #chatbot performance (κ=0.3) in justifying scans, though they were accurate for complete referrals.

How do medical students view #radiology as a viable career?

A recent survey of 1,184 medical students among 21 universities reveals that while 99% acknowledge radiology's clinical importance, 64% rule out pursuing it as a career option due to limited patient interaction.

🚀 Could AI help streamline MRI workflows, optimise biopsy decision-making, and reduce variability in prostate cancer detection?

🤔 What are your thoughts on Radiology lead research and CTiR?

Let’s discuss below! 👇

Brendan Kelly @brenkelly.bsky.social · Apr 22

Not yet... The next crucial step is prospective validation, ensuring AI improves patient outcomes rather than just performing well on retrospective datasets.

🤔 What does this mean for the future of prostate MRI?
This study provides compelling evidence that AI can match expert performance, but does that mean AI is ready to replace human oversight?

Brendan Kelly @brenkelly.bsky.social · Apr 22

✅ Sensitivity vs. Specificity Trade-off – At the predefined risk threshold, AI achieved:
📌 Sensitivity: 95% (Rads: 99%)
📌 Specificity: 67% (Rads: 73%)
While radiologists still had the edge, AI was remarkably close—raising the question: could AI help in reducing radiologist workload in routine cases?

Brendan Kelly @brenkelly.bsky.social · Apr 22

✅ Performance in Real-World Settings – AI demonstrated robust generalisability, performing consistently across different scanner models and field strengths, an essential step in ensuring AI’s clinical viability.

Brendan Kelly @brenkelly.bsky.social · Apr 22

✅ AI vs. Radiologists – This study evaluated an AI system for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (GG≥2) on MRI across six hospitals with multiple scanner vendors. Impressively, AI performed non-inferior to MDT-supported radiologists, achieving an AUC of 0.91 vs. 0.95.

Authors now submit a visual summary that captures their main finding—starting at revision.
It’s creative, effective, and built for how we actually read content in 2025.
🖼️ One image, big impact.

Graphical abstracts:
✅ Summarize research at a glance
✅ Boost social media reach
✅ Improve accessibility for clinicians, patients & policymakers
✅ Help radiology speak beyond its own walls

🎨 Radiology is visual—so why shouldn’t our science be too?
Proud to share a new editorial in European Radiology, where we’ve officially introduced graphical abstracts for Original Articles.
