Women may need less frequent CT lung cancer screening

Women may need less frequent CT lung cancer screening than men, according to a study to be presented on 6 May at the European Lung Cancer Conference in Geneva. The finding could enable physicians to reduce CT screening frequency (and thus exposure to radiation) in women.

Photon-counting breast CT shows promise

Tests of a prototype photon-counting detector breast CT scanner show that the system could be useful as an adjunct to low-dose breast CT by separating the energy levels of different types of materials within the breast to assess tissue composition and improve cancer diagnosis.

Lung-RADS category 4X helps diagnose lung cancer

The addition of category 4X lesions in the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) imaging scheme adds value and increases malignancy yields among experienced radiologists, according to a Dutch study in Radiology. The 4X nodules turn out to be malignant in half of cases.

Low doses can make DSCT cardiac perfusion routine

The latest generation dual-source CT (DSCT) scanner cuts the radiation dose of cardiac CT perfusion enough to make it suitable for daily practice, according to new research. Expanded z-axis coverage and better signal-to-noise ratios can offer more information on myocardial blood flow.

Italians show CAD improves prostate biopsy targeting

An artificial intelligence-based computer-aided detection (CAD) system that analyzes prostate MR images for tumors improves the targeting of core biopsies for cancer diagnosis, according to Italian research presented at ECR 2017. With fine-tuning, the system could improve patient care.

IR with CAD permits ultralow lung CT dose

Iterative reconstruction (IR) can improve lung nodule detection with 3D computer-aided detection (CAD) to the point where nodule detection using ultralow-dose CT is comparable with standard and low-dose exposures, according to researchers from Japan presenting at ECR 2017 in Vienna.

Dedicated breast F-18 FDG PET/MRI exam pre- (A, D, G), mid- (B, E, H), and post-NAC (C, F, I) of a 41-year-old patient diagnosed with a triple negative (TN), grade 2, invasive carcinoma. The SUVmax values of the primary tumor were 14.68 pre-NAC, 1.69 mid-NAC, and 1.87 post-NAC, while SER values were 1.19, 0.52, and 0.63, respectively.
