Tomosynthesis provides boost in painful prosthetic cases
By Frances Rylands-Monk
French researchers have revealed that digital tomosynthesis has a similar diagnostic performance to x-ray for diagnosing prosthetic loosening after total hip arthroplasty, but it yields better interobserver agreement. They compared the performance of tomosynthesis with that of x-ray and also CT with metal artifact reduction.

NELSON gives Europeans go-ahead for CT lung screening
By Abraham Kim
CT lung cancer screening got a big boost this week from researchers in the Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening (NELSON) trial, who at the 2018 World Conference on Lung Cancer in Toronto reported a 26% mortality reduction for men in the trial. The findings could give the green light to CT lung screening in Europe.
