Audio and visual aids decrease radiation therapy treatment times
By
Cynthia E. Keen
Use of respiratory-gating techniques during free breathing reduces healthy tissue exposure to radiation, but has the drawback of longer radiation therapy delivery times. Belgian researchers may have found a solution in an inexpensive, low-tech technique: At their center, visually guided voluntary breath-hold along with audio assistance reduced treatment time duration so that it's comparable to conventional treatment times.

By
Eric Barnes
A face-off between two lung nodule computer-aided detection (CAD) systems found a big difference in sensitivity for detecting solid pulmonary nodules, but it also revealed the good news that nodule detection was unaffected by low-dose scanning. The number of false positives also differed significantly between the two systems, researchers from Germany reported.

Eric Barnes
Patients with positive screening results on fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs) should probably head straight to optical colonoscopy for their next exam, according to a new study from the Netherlands. Virtual colonoscopy may not be cost-effective in this population because so many FOBT-positive patients would need referral for polypectomy anyway, the researchers said.

FFDM equals analog mammography in hard-copy reading
By
Kate Madden Yee
A new study from the U.K. confirms previous research regarding the equivalency of full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with analog film-screen mammography. The two techniques had roughly equal detection rates when images were printed and read in a hard-copy environment.
