Now, they are zeroing in on a precise role for this unique technology.July 27, 2010Clinical NewsDigital radiography falls short in lung cancer screening trialWhile establishing the feasibility of digital radiography (DR) for lung cancer screening, a Dutch study has questioned the practicality of DR as a substitute for CT in detecting lung masses, according to a study published in the May issue of Radiology.April 26, 2010Previous PagePage 2 of 2Top StoriesWomens ImagingNew data cements AI's role in breast screeningAI continues to show significant clinical promise as a second reader for breast cancer screening, a new Dutch study shows.
