H7N9 bird flu pneumonia scans show common imaging findings
By Eric Barnes
A new bird flu strain known as influenza H7N9 appeared in China this year and quickly took a number of human victims. An article in Radiology published on Tuesday includes some of the first radiologic images of the effects of the virus, revealing typical patterns of progression and regression on CT scans and radiographs of the chest.

Could chest tomo be a first-line lung cancer screening tool?
By Kate Madden Yee
With all the attention being paid to CT lung cancer screening, what about x-ray? Italian researchers believe that radiology's oldest modality could be revived as a screening tool with a technological twist -- digital tomosynthesis. They describe their findings in the June edition of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

New BJR study assesses measurement of CR image quality
By Rebekah Moan
Medical physics experts may now use the image quality metrics described in a British Journal of Radiology study in quality assurance programs and optimization studies with a degree of confidence -- they reflect the clinical image quality in chest computed radiography (CR) images acquired without an antiscatter grid.
