Multipurpose CT lung cancer screening more cost-effective
By Eric Barnes
CT lung cancer screening is likely to be more cost-effective if it is used to identify other tobacco-related conditions in high-risk people, according to a study published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

RoeKo: Phase-contrast imaging looks set for clinical use
After years in development, phase-contrast imaging is ready for clinical use, and one of its first functions could be to view the lungs of patients with a variety of pulmonary diseases, according to an expert from the German Radiology Congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress, RöKo 2017).

Ditch x-ray to diagnose COPD, study finds
By Rebekah Moan
In the quest to diagnose mild-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), radiologists often use chest radiographs, but Dutch researchers of a new study advise that they shouldn't do so because it results in substantial overdiagnosis.

PACS alerts can boost communication with referrers
By Philip Ward
A fatal accident due to an oversight by a referring physician has prompted staff at a radiology department to implement a PACS alert system, and it's already helping to improve communication and collaboration between radiologists and referring physicians.

Women may need less frequent CT lung cancer screening
By Eric Barnes
Women may need less frequent CT lung cancer screening than men, according to a study to be presented on 6 May at the European Lung Cancer Conference in Geneva. The finding could enable physicians to reduce CT screening frequency (and thus exposure to radiation) in women.

Lung-RADS category 4X helps diagnose lung cancer
By Eric Barnes
The addition of category 4X lesions in the Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) imaging scheme adds value and increases malignancy yields among experienced radiologists, according to a Dutch study in Radiology. The 4X nodules turn out to be malignant in half of cases.

Italian CT trial boosts lung cancer screening
By Rebekah Moan
An Italian CT lung cancer screening trial has found low-dose CT screening could reduce lung cancer and overall mortality, and it is the first European study to show results clearly in the same direction of other major lung cancer screening trials.

Ultralow-dose CT works for emphysema quantification
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A Swiss study has shown that a CT protocol using tin filtration and iterative reconstruction reduces radiation dose levels to the equivalent of a chest x-ray for lung volumetry and also the detection and quantification of emphysema. The results nudge ultralow-dose CT ever closer to routine workup of chest pathologies.

IR with CAD permits ultralow lung CT dose
By Eric Barnes
Iterative reconstruction (IR) can improve lung nodule detection with 3D computer-aided detection (CAD) to the point where nodule detection using ultralow-dose CT is comparable with standard and low-dose exposures, according to researchers from Japan presenting at ECR 2017 in Vienna.

Chest CT with iterative recon achieves x-ray doses
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Chest CT scans acquired at radiation doses as low as an x-ray showed lesions of all kinds conspicuously, using the latest dual-source CT scanner and iterative reconstruction. Individualized approaches tailored to specific lesion types cut the dose even further, researchers said on Friday at ECR 2017.
