Bedside chest x-rays: Are radiologists needed?
By Rebekah Moan
When it comes to reading bedside chest x-rays, is the radiologist still needed, or can the task be delegated to other physicians? Swiss researchers have found that as long as the person is experienced, the discipline really doesn't matter.

Lung x-rays predict mortality in MERS patients
By Brian Casey
A new study of Saudi Arabian patients with Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) found that a simple method of scoring pathology on lung radiographs can be used to predict which patients are at risk of dying, according to an article in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

CT analysis algorithm defines malignant lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
A multitasking algorithm designed to analyze CT lung cancer screening images and pick out likely malignancies, nodule volumes, as well as other characteristics at CT, delivers significant, if modest, performance improvements over that based on size alone.

BMJ: Is COPD being misdiagnosed?
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
The new chronic lung disease guidelines either overestimate or underestimate the extent of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depending on the patients they're applied to, according to a new report in BMJ.

Europe unveils blueprint for lung cancer screening
By Philip Ward
In a new joint white paper, the European Society of Radiology and the European Respiratory Society have added their support to lung cancer screening in comprehensive, quality-assured programs within a clinical trial or in routine clinical practice at certified multidisciplinary facilities.

Automated analysis aids lung nodule management
By Eric Barnes
The solid component of subsolid pulmonary nodules can be detected automatically -- making it easier to assess the potential malignancy of lung lesions detected on CT, according to researchers from the Netherlands.

Access to baseline CT screening scans can reduce recalls
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
German researchers have found that the recall rate for CT lung cancer screening decreased by more than 80% in subsequent rounds of screening, an effect the researchers attributed to having baseline scans available in later screening rounds, according to a study published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

CTPA-based prediction model nails pulmonary hypertension
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - When do suspected pulmonary embolism patients actually have pulmonary hypertension (PH)? Although the treatment approach for the conditions is quite different, their presentation can be similar. But a new CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) tool can accurately predict PH in patients without pulmonary embolism, according to researchers from Israel.

Nodule volumes overestimated on diameter measurements
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Agreement between diameter-based and semiautomated nodule volume measurements is poor and often overestimates nodule size from a volumetric perspective, according to results from a Dutch study presented at ECR 2015.

Results of Dutch-Belgian screening trial can be widely applied
By Eric Barnes
Individuals scanned with CT in the Nederlands-Leuvens Longkanker Screenings Onderzoek (NELSON) lung cancer screening trial had a similar risk of cancer as people who did not participate in the study, meaning the research can be generalized to a wider population.

Technique boosts x-ray CAD results for TB
By Eric Barnes
Dutch researchers have developed an algorithm to improve the robustness of computer-aided detection (CAD) to identify tuberculosis (TB) on chest x-rays -- enabling CAD to significantly improve the detection of thoracic abnormalities.
