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.

RöKo 2018: Neural network looks deep into the lungs
Today's radiologists can use elaborate, computer-supported analysis methods to learn far more from CT data. A study presented at the German Radiology Congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress, RöKo 2018) showed that CT datasets can provide a fairly precise assessment of lung function.

Kauczor: Lung cancer screening works if you do it right
Lung cancer screening was a central theme at the German Radiology Congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress, RöKo 2018) in Leipzig. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Kauczor from Heidelberg explained how screening with low-dose CT can be used effectively.

Radiographers read chest x-rays as well as radiologists
By Kate Madden Yee
Radiographers can read chest x-rays as well as radiologists, according to a new study published on 30 April in Academic Radiology. The finding is good news for busy departments -- allowing radiographers to read chest x-rays could streamline workflow, the U.K. researchers noted.

CAD gains momentum for scoring of lung nodules
By Philip Ward
Computer-aided detection (CAD) and risk stratification are useful for excluding lung cancer on thoracic CT, according to Scottish and Dutch researchers. CAD followed by radiology review of suspicious cases is cost-effective and can lead to a 30% reduction in screening costs, they say.

Does organ-specific CT dose reduction really reduce dose?
By Abraham Kim
Researchers from Belgium are questioning whether organ-based tube-current modulation in CT chest studies of women really reduces radiation dose. They found that while radiation dose to the breast fell, it increased in other areas, according to a study published on March 27 in Radiology.

AI can help distinguish lung nodules on CT scans
By Erik L. Ridley
VIENNA - Artificial intelligence (AI) offers value in characterizing nodules on CT lung cancer screening exams, possibly reducing the number of benign cases that are unnecessarily worked or followed up, according to a pair of Thursday presentations at ECR 2018.

Separating the art of medicine from artificial intelligence
By Dr. Hugh Harvey
Is it feasible to develop an artificial intelligence algorithm that can actually "read" chest x-rays? The task is definitely not an easy one and major challenges must be addressed, writes radiologist Dr. Hugh Harvey in his new column.
