A narrative review cautioned that isolated PET findings for pancreatic masses should not automatically trigger curative surgery. The authors emphasized PET/CT interpretation should reflect suspected tumor biology and unresolved clinical questions, and that isolated results require confirmation before surgery decisions are altered. Another imaging-adjacent clinical AI report described a multimodal approach estimating pleural effusion volume on radiographs with accuracy comparable to experienced radiologists, while agreement with CT volumetry remained moderate. Together, the items reflect ongoing pressure on the oncology and imaging ecosystems to improve decision thresholds and validate AI output against clinical gold standards.
