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.

Fast thoracic MRI emerges as alternative to chest x-ray
By Rebekah Moan
How does MRI compare with chest x-ray in detecting cardiac and noncardiac findings? Very similarly, according to new research from Italy. Both modalities identified pulmonary nodules, had similar pulmonary nodule detection rates, and more.

Low-dose CT can deliver cost-effective lung screening
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A Swiss modeling study showed a national low-dose CT screening program for lung cancer can be cost-effective. The study, published in the July issue of Lung Cancer, sought to clarify the impact of screening across a high-income population and revealed it may reduce mortality by 6% to 15%.

Opinion: Radiographers do not equal radiologists
By Dr. Emanuele Neri
Studies that compare the reading skills of radiographers against those of radiologists are flawed, says Dr. Emanuele Neri. Trying to prove that "radiographers = radiologists" is the wrong exercise because the skillsets of the two groups are so different, but "radiographers + radiologists = better care" is valid, he writes.

Radiographers: 'Yes, we can read chest x-rays'
By Philip Ward
The U.K. Society of Radiographers has refuted the suggestion that radiographers must not read chest x-rays and cannot conduct clinical image reporting to a standard equivalent to a senior radiologist. It's a "rather sad spectacle," according to its CEO Richard Evans.

Opinion: Radiographers must not read chest x-rays
By Dr. Anna Rita Larici
It's unacceptable that radiographers, who do not receive the same training as radiologists, can report chest x-rays, which are difficult to interpret even for experienced thoracic radiologists, according to Dr. Anna Rita Larici from Milan, Italy.

Ultrasound finds more pneumonia than x-ray
By Kate Madden Yee
Lung ultrasound finds more cases of pneumonia in children and young adults than chest radiography does, according to a study published online on May 11 in the journal Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology.
