Dr. Agustín Marrero explores the anatomy, mechanisms, and imaging characteristics of hamstring injuries, highlighting how MRI and ultrasound findings guide diagnosis, prognosis, and return-to-play decisions. Drawing on his team's research, he emphasizes the importance of precise localization of myotendinous injuries to optimize treatment strategies and reduce the risk of reinjury in athletes.

Dr. Brandy Griffith and Dr. Mitva Patel discuss how to apply the ACR BI-RADS contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) lexicon in clinical practice, highlighting practical strategies for interpreting low-energy and recombined images. They review key terminology, management pitfalls, and emerging evidence to help radiologists confidently adopt CEM while understanding its limitations and impact on patient care.

Dr. Sudeep Soni explores the evolving role of dual–contrast agent liver MRI for improved characterization of focal liver lesions when single-agent protocols are limited. The episode breaks down how sequential use of extracellular and hepatobiliary contrast agents enhances diagnostic confidence, reduces uncertainty, and supports more informed patient care decisions.

Vera Sorin, Nicole Dittrich, and Shehbaz Ansari discussing their RadioGraphics editorial First Steps in Radiology Research and offering practical guidance on how trainees or early-career radiologists can get started in research. The conversation highlights the importance of mentorship, teamwork, starting small, and avoiding common pitfalls while emphasizing that research is a learned skill accessible to anyone willing to take the first step.
