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.

Large-nodule lung CAD shows high accuracy
By Eric Barnes
Researchers in the Netherlands have developed a new computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme that can pick up large pulmonary nodules at thoracic CT, plugging a disappointing gap in current CAD technology.

No stab in the dark: CT provides answers in knife wounds
By Philip Ward
Dual-phase (arterial and portal venous) CT should be performed in all patients with penetrating stab wounds to the torso, and specific focus must be placed on assessing for diaphragmatic and bowel injuries, according to a new study from a top London hospital.

N. Ireland adopts novel approach to lung cancer screening
By Frances Rylands-Monk
An innovative lung cancer screening pilot project in Northern Ireland designed to target selected patients older than 50 is underway. The scheme is based on sensitive, low-cost chest x-ray, the first port of call to exclude lung cancer.

PET/MRI matches PET/CT in NSCLC accuracy
By Wayne Forrest
CHICAGO - Using a 15-minute MRI protocol with PET/MR, Swiss researchers achieved diagnostic accuracy equal to that of PET/CT for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Study results were presented at last week's RSNA 2014 conference.

Tread carefully on lung cancer screening, U.K. experts urge
By Philip Ward
For effective implementation of lung cancer screening, start with a program targeting those most at risk and employ pathways minimizing risk of harm, including those due to overdiagnosis, and then expand as unanswered issues are clarified, U.K. specialists have advocated.

FDG-PET/CT has mixed results in lung cancer screening
By Wayne Forrest
Lung cancer researchers from Italy have found that FDG-PET/CT is "highly sensitive" in the diagnosis of indeterminate nodules, as well as nodules larger than 15 mm and solid nodules, but less effective with other smaller, subsolid nodules.
