Crocodile Brains Unchanged for 100 Million Years, Study Finds

Researchers used CT scans to examine 43 crocodilian species (both living and extinct) and found that the brains and inner-ear structures have changed very little over about 100 million years, suggesting an exceptionally effective brain design that helped these reptiles endure climate shifts and mass extinctions.

Dodo skulls reveal sharper senses and dusk foraging

CT-scanning the two only complete dodo skulls (plus a third) enabled researchers to reconstruct endocasts and compare the dodo’s brain with those of pigeons, doves, and the Rodrigues solitaire. The results suggest the dodo may have foraged at dawn and dusk, had a stronger sense of smell, and used its large upper beak to feel its surroundings, implying it was smarter than many birds and offering new insights into how it lived and why it went extinct.

iPhone 18 Pro Rumor: Smaller Dynamic Island, Side IR Flooder, and a Giant Vapor Chamber

A tip and CT scan leak claim the iPhone 18 Pro will shrink the Dynamic Island by relocating the infrared flooder to the side (potentially under the display) while a massive vapor chamber stretches to the top. The front camera and Face ID would sit in a smaller pill-shaped cutout, and the device is said to feature a 48MP triple-camera setup, Samsung’s M16 LTPO+ OLED display with dynamic 1–120 Hz refresh, a C2 modem with 5G mmWave and satellite features, four color options, refined aluminum, and a starting price around $1,399.

AI radiomics flags pancreatic cancer years before diagnosis

Researchers at Mayo Clinic and MD Anderson developed REDMOD, an AI radiomics model that analyzes CT scans to detect pancreatic cancer years before diagnosis, flagging 46 of 63 pre-diagnosis cases (about 73%) an average of 16 months early (some up to 3 years) and outperforming radiologists, who identified signs in 38.9% of cases. The system also produced 81 false positives among 430 healthy controls. While promising across multiple datasets, researchers caution that larger, more diverse validation and smoother clinical integration are needed before use in routine care.

Tracer-enhanced CT scan shows promise for early endometriosis detection

Oxford researchers tested a CT scan paired with the tracer maraciclatide to spot early endometriosis. In a small pilot, the technique correctly detected endometriosis in 16 of 19 cases and matched 14 of 17 surgically confirmed diagnoses, suggesting a non-invasive path to earlier diagnosis. If confirmed in larger studies, it could shorten the current diagnostic journey that often requires invasive laparoscopy and help patients start treatment sooner.
