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.

JFR 2017: CT overscanning leads to higher radiation doses
By Frances Rylands-Monk
Efforts to curb radiation exposure with dose reduction technology have stepped up in recent years, but a study from Switzerland has revealed another source of excessive radiation dose across hospitals -- overscanning, delegates at the Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR 2017) heard on 16 October.

Study casts fresh doubt on chest x-ray proficiency
By Frances Rylands-Monk
New research has raised serious concerns about the accuracy of chest x-ray interpretations in acute care by nonradiologists. To avoid harm to patients, the Iranian authors emphasize the urgent need for better worldwide training in this area.

French study heralds change in lung cancer follow-up
By Frances Rylands-Monk
French researchers have shed new light on following up patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer. They found little evidence to support more frequent CT scanning in the first two years after resection, according to a study presented on 9 September at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO 2017) congress in Madrid.

When radiologists can be useful ...
By Dr. Peter Rinck, PhD
A little boy has a persistent cough, and the chest specialist suspects lung cancer. Then a retired radiologist intervenes and helps resolve the potential crisis. The Maverinck tells this simple tale.

Software differentiates ground-glass nodule subtypes
By Erik L. Ridley
Lung nodule assessment software can be used to accurately differentiate histological subtypes of lung adenocarcinomas manifesting as ground-glass nodules, helping to reduce diagnostic uncertainty in managing these common lesions, according to Austrian research published online by European Radiology.

Radiomics helps predict NSCLC treatment outcome
By Ian Randall
A CT-based prognostic radiomic signature for non-small cell lung cancer can be ported for use with cone-beam CT images, according to a new study. The approach could potentially allow treatments to be monitored and adjusted in their early stages to afford better outcomes for patients, noted the researchers from the Netherlands.

Radiotherapy boost based on PET not always helpful
By Wayne Forrest
Selectively increasing radiotherapy dose in tumor areas with significant uptake of the PET radiotracer F-18 fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) does not necessarily improve outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer patients, according to a phase II study published in the July issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

8 ways to boost accuracy in lateral chest x-rays
By Philip Ward
A clear understanding of normal thoracic anatomy and appearances on a lateral chest radiograph, along with a systematic approach for reviewing cases, can increase confidence with interpretation, according to U.K. researchers who have developed an eight-point plan to help the process.
