Fatty liver disease, now called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is on the rise alongside global obesity rates. Imaging plays a critical role in the diagnosis, monitoring and management of this disease. Extensive research has improved understanding of its pathology and prognosis, but fundamental knowledge gaps remain. In a recent article in RadioGraphics, co-lead authors Sedighe Hosseini Shabanan, MD, MPH, and Vitor F. Martins, MD, PhD, University of California, San Diego, and colleagues summarize current insights into MASLD. The authors also highlight six key opportunities for the radiology community to address together, including problems with proliferation, reproducibility and reporting. The article concludes with a call to action. “We call on the entire house of radiology—radiologists, technologists, administrators, researchers, industry and radiology societies—to take action, demand a seat at the table with other societies, and advance the development, validation, dissemination and accessibility of the technologies needed to confront the looming crisis,” the authors write. Read the full article, “MASLD: What We Have Learned and Where We Need to Go—A Call to Action,” and the invited commentary. This article is also available for CME on EdCentral.

Using data collected over a 10-year period from four emergency departments, researchers at the University of Toronto found that short-term exposure to ambient heat and air pollution levels was associated with increased use of X-rays and CT. https://bit.ly/4eCOp3a
