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.

Tomosynthesis can replace CT for many chest exams

By Brian Casey

A new study by Swedish radiologists performed under real-world conditions indicates that digital chest tomosynthesis can replace CT for a number of lung exams, saving both money and radiation dose. The research confirms previous studies on the role tomo can play in carving out a middle ground between CT and conventional chest x-ray.
