Why errors in radiology are no easy matter
By Philip Ward
Radiologists who make errors are not always negligent, sloppy, or careless, but a greater emphasis on training and competency as well as improvements in systems used for reporting and communication of images can reduce the number of discrepancies and clinical incidents, U.K. researchers have found.

French find no need for CT to rule out PE
By Abraham Kim
French researchers found that a set of clinical criteria was just as accurate as a protocol that included CT pulmonary angiography for ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE) in the emergency department, according to an article published in the February 13 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

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.
