Reporting by radiographers works, but needs close scrutiny
By Philip Ward
In the future, it will be essential to investigate the accuracy of chest reporting by radiographers more extensively, particularly throughout implementation into clinical practice and in comparison with senior radiologists, according to U.K. researchers who have just reported positive findings.

MRI tackles low-dose CT on lung cancer screening
By Cynthia E. Keen
CT screening of high-risk individuals for lung cancer can identify malignant nodules sooner, but every CT scan performed, even at a low dose, confers a small risk of causing cancer as a result of cumulative radiation dose exposure. German researchers think MRI provides a viable alternative.

High-resolution CT makes progress in pulmonary fibrosis
By Philip Ward
Patients with suspected idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who do not have typical patterns on high-resolution CT may in the future be spared the risks of lung biopsy and be given a confident diagnosis based on clinical and radiological findings alone, according to new research published in Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
