Abstract
<i>Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging</i> publishes novel research and technical developments in cardiac, thoracic, and vascular imaging. This review article, led by the <i>Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging</i> Early Career Editorial Board, highlights selected articles published in the journal between November 2024 and October 2025. Featured articles span the breadth of cardiothoracic and vascular imaging, including cardiac CT assessment of prosthetic heart valves, photon-counting CT for improved coronary stent evaluation, and streamlined multiparametric cardiac MRI acquisition techniques. Additional topics include imaging of mitral annular disjunction; cardiac MRI markers of diastolic dysfunction, myocardial heterogeneity, and myocarditis prognosis; and cardiac MRI-based assessment of sarcopenia as a novel prognostic marker. Ongoing research and future directions include accelerated cardiac MRI, opportunistic cardiovascular risk assessment from incidental findings at routine imaging, and expanding applications of quantitative and artificial intelligence-driven techniques across cardiac, thoracic, oncologic, and vascular imaging. <b>Keywords:</b> Deep Learning, CT, CT-Coronary Angiography, CT Angiography, CT-Photon Counting, CT-Quantitative, Aorta, Coronary Arteries, Clinical Testing, MR Imaging, MRI, Cardiac, Pulmonary, Heart, Lung, Artificial Intelligence, Mitral Valve, Thoracic Tumor Staging, Vascular © RSNA, 2026.
