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.

Remember chest x-rays for mediastinal diseases
By Philip Ward
The posteroanterior chest radiograph remains a powerful tool in diagnosing mediastinal diseases, but to detect an unsuspected mass and avoid potential mistakes, it's essential to understand the concept of mediastinal reflections, according to prize-winning research.

CT postprocessing can aid evaluation of pediatric airways
By Erik L. Ridley
Because it's noninvasive and doesn't require anesthesia, CT postprocessing offers significant advantages over the gold standard of bronchoscopy for evaluating pediatric airways. Yet there are even more benefits, according to an article published recently in Pediatric Radiology.

CAD scheme automatically characterizes lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Taking a step beyond lung nodule detection schemes evaluated in previous studies, researchers from the Netherlands have developed an automated method of characterizing nodules as solid, part-solid, or nonsolid, pointing the way to different patient management paths, according to a presentation at ECR 2013.

New European lung cancer mortality rates prove insightful
By Cynthia E. Keen
Death from lung cancer continues to decline steadily among men living in Europe, according to a study of male lung cancer mortality in 33 countries published online on 20 February in Lung Cancer. But more than 187,000 individuals are still predicted to die from the disease in 2015.
