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.

U.K. team scoops top prize for chest wall deformities study
By Philip Ward
Developing a keen awareness of the radiological features of congenital chest wall deformities is a useful clinical skill, and imaging can also illustrate pre- and postsurgical appearances for more conditions requiring surgical correction, according to award-winning research from a top facility in London.

ESTI: New 3D tool displays promise for rib evaluations
By Philip Ward
An automated curved planar reformatting software tool that presents the ribs in an "unfolded" view is starting to prove its clinical value, according to a presentation at the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) annual meeting, held last month in Amsterdam.

Nodule size matters in Italian CT lung cancer screening study
By Eric Barnes
Italian researchers believe they have struck a good balance in CT lung cancer screening by following up suspicious nodules at a slightly larger size threshold. By only following up nodules 5 mm and larger rather than 4 mm, they achieved good sensitivity with fewer false positives.

Radiographer reporting leads to major gains at top cancer facility
By Philip Ward
A structured four-year scheme for reporting of chest x-rays by radiographers has brought impressive results at the Christie in Manchester. The percentage of chest x-rays waiting six days or more for a formal report has fallen to almost nothing in four years, and the turnaround time also has dropped.

European debate arises over best PET/CT parameters for NSCLC
By Wayne Forrest
An interesting dialogue has developed on the worth of maximum standardized uptake values from FDG-PET/CT scans to accurately diagnose mediastinal disease in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In an editorial in European Journal of Radiology, Italian researchers question conclusions from a recently published Irish study.

Swedish group drives down dose in chest tomosynthesis
By Rebekah Moan
Radiation dose may be reduced by 32% in digital chest tomosynthesis without significantly altering the technique's ability to detect pulmonary nodules, according to a study out of Sweden. The researchers were able to decrease the radiation dose of tomosynthesis to the level of a lateral chest radiograph.

ARRS: Pulmonary MRI feasible for evaluating acute PE
By Kate Madden Yee
Pulmonary MRI can be used to evaluate acute pulmonary embolism (PE), offering an alternative for patients who can't undergo CT pulmonary angiography or are allergic to iodinated contrast agents, according to Turkish research presented at last week's American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting.

Don't overlook chest x-rays in mediastinum, Portuguese warn
By Philip Ward
Despite the increasing use of CT for identifying mediastinal abnormalities, the chest x-ray remains a valuable tool in the evaluation of the mediastinum, and in many cases remains the first diagnostic examination performed for lung and mediastinal evaluation, say researchers from Portugal.
