Radiology has the power to reveal what remains invisible — and three hot-off-the-press publications from NEJM, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, and JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging prove exactly that.

In this episode of Artifact-Free, we spotlight groundbreaking imaging advances in seemingly “hidden” diseases:

• Liver: How cutting-edge MRI and ultrasound techniques can non-invasively detect fat and fibrosis in Metabolic Dysfunction–Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) — reducing the need for biopsy.
• Brain: What a novel MRI method (WEPCAST) uncovers about blood-brain barrier disruption in Long COVID — and its correlation with motor impairments.
• Heart: How AI-powered echocardiography (“ultrasomics”) detects subtle textural changes to identify acute myocardial infarction earlier — potentially transforming emergency diagnostics.

👉 Together, these studies bridge the spectrum from chronic conditions to post-viral syndromes and acute emergencies — showing how radiology is pushing the boundaries of medicine by making the unseen, seen.
