Volumetric CT beats RECIST in therapy response
By Eric Barnes
Three-dimensional volumetric measurements of lung cancer tumors are better predictors of survival than conventional Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) measurements, according to a new study published by the European Journal of Radiology.

Automated technique compares lung screening priors
By Eric Barnes
A new technique uses digital subtraction imaging to detect temporal changes in lung cancer screening scans between baseline and follow-up. The method could make screening follow-up easier by quickly identifying new or growing nodules.

3D PET images show oxygen/CO2 transport in lungs
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
A 3D algorithm can utilize PET/CT images to map the movement of oxygen and CO2 in the lungs, potentially facilitating better treatment for patients with serious lung diseases, according to a recent article published online in Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology.

PET features help guide dose escalation
By Cynthia E. Keen
Quantitative imaging features (QIFs) from FDG-PET combined with conventional prognostic factors of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) show potential to enhance overall survival risk stratification. That's the conclusion of study findings published in the Red Journal and Radiology.

Lung CT screening pilot has good detection rate of early cancers
By Frances Rylands-Monk
Low-dose CT has proved to be pivotal in the early detection of lung cancer in a groundbreaking U.K. lung cancer screening pilot project that aimed to discover if CT was a viable cost-effective option. The findings were published online by BMJ on 8 December.

Automated CAC fares well in CT lung screening scans
By Eric Barnes
Automated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is robust and accurate when applied to lung cancer screening exams -- even when applied to a different population than the algorithm was designed for, according to results presented at RSNA 2015 in Chicago.

Tomosynthesis boosts accuracy in cancer cases
By Philip Ward
Digital tomosynthesis can improve the diagnostic accuracy and confidence of chest radiography in oncologic patients with suspected pulmonary lesions, and it allows CT to be skipped in about 50% of cases, Italian researchers found in a study published online on 1 December by European Radiology.

Tomo-CAD combo targets lung cancer screening
By Brian Casey
What if you had a lung cancer screening modality that was better than x-ray and nearly as good as CT, but with less radiation and expense? Researchers from Hungary are investigating the idea with a digital tomosynthesis system that they assembled themselves, along with homegrown computer-aided detection (CAD) software.

Lung MRI rivals CT in complex pneumonia
By Philip Ward
MRI is accurate for detecting problems in children with lower airway tract infection and can pinpoint the dynamics of morphologic changes during treatment, and soon it may replace CT in cases of complicated pneumonia, according to award-winning German research.

CAD systems compared: What you should look for
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A Dutch study suggests the best computer-aided detection (CAD) system can detect most pulmonary nodules at a low false-positive rate and find additional lesions missed by human readers, but awareness of the varying reliability of different CAD algorithms is crucial.

Get savvy on neonatal chest x-rays
By Philip Ward
It's time to brush up your knowledge of neonatal chest x-rays, and doing so will have a positive impact on patient management. That's the view of radiologists who presented their experiences at the 2015 annual meeting of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging, held in Barcelona, Spain.
