How often are lung nodules missed on CAC scoring scans?
By Abraham Kim
If an incidental lung nodule is present on a CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring scan, how often is that nodule actually detected and worked up? Not as often as one might expect, according to researchers who analyzed the reasons why nodules might be missed in a presentation at RSNA 2017.

AI assesses cardiovascular risk on routine chest CT
By Erik L. Ridley
An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can automatically quantify coronary and other arterial calcification from routine chest CT studies, enabling cardiovascular risk assessment to be performed on these patients, Dutch researchers reported at the RSNA 2017 meeting.

Lancet: Europe must get set for lung cancer screening
By Rebekah Moan
Experts from around Europe are urging the European Union (EU) to implement lung cancer screening using low-dose CT within the next 18 months. The EU position statement, published in the December issue of Lancet Oncology, recommends a risk stratification approach, among other guidelines.

Backlog of 23K unread chest x-rays draws review of Portsmouth
By Brian Casey
A backlog of 23,000 unread chest x-ray images at a U.K. National Health Service (NHS) hospital in Portsmouth has drawn the attention of the Care Quality Commission, which has ordered the facility to take immediate action to ensure the images are read promptly. The episode has also prompted the commission to review radiology reporting across the NHS network in England.

Nodule count on CT not linked to lung cancer risk
By Abraham Kim
Does a higher number of lung nodules detected on baseline CT screens indicate an increased risk of cancer? Researchers with the Dutch-Belgian Randomized Lung Cancer Screening trial refute this notion in a study published in the November issue of Lung Cancer.

Ultralow-dose CT probes presurgical stroke risk
By Frances Rylands-Monk
The danger of stroke as a cardiac postsurgery complication has flagged the need for greater understanding of patients' calcified atherosclerotic burden prior to surgery. But just how much dose is needed for CT results to be accurate, and how can radiologists optimize visualization?

Improve CT lung cancer screening with baseline screens
By Rebekah Moan
CT lung cancer screening can be optimized by recognizing the significant differences in the frequency of noncalcified nodules and also the difference in the frequency and aggressiveness of diagnosed cancers from baseline to annual repeat screening rounds, according to lung cancer expert Dr. Claudia Henschke, PhD.

3D printing assists spinal surgery of French 6-year-old
By Abraham Kim
Surgeons in France used a 3D-printed model of the spine to simulate and hone a new robot-guided procedure on a 6-year-old boy with severe scoliosis. The young patient had such a severe combination of progressive scoliosis and spinal muscular atrophy that he was unable even to sit down.

Why the jury's still out on lung cancer screening
By Rebekah Moan
Caution persists when it comes to applying lung cancer screening, as the wait goes on for more conclusive mortality data, but consensus is growing that lung cancer screening is likely to become more cost-effective, according to a leading U.K. expert.

ESCR: Chest x-rays pick up incidental findings
By Philip Ward
Don't underestimate chest x-rays as a useful technique for illuminating thoracic aorta pathologies, particularly when it comes to highlighting incidental findings, according to Italian research presented at last week's European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology (ESCR) congress in Milan.
