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.

Lung cancer x-ray screening in Italy shows positive results
By Cynthia E. Keen
A nearly decadelong lung cancer chest x-ray screening program of at-risk residents of the Varese province in Italy reduced the number of deaths attributed to lung cancer by 18%, according to findings published online in Lung Cancer. This study offers insights into the value of chest x-rays as a low cost screening tool.

CT features help predict resolving, nonresolving lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
CT can't precisely distinguish resolving from persistent and potentially malignant lung nodules at the first scan, but it does reveal the probabilities associated with different nodule characteristics, Dutch radiologists have found.

Lung cancer deaths to outstrip breast cancer deaths by 2015
By Rebekah Moan
Driven by smoking, lung cancer is likely to overtake breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death for European women by 2015, according to a study published in Annals of Oncology. In fact, in Poland and the U.K. it already has, the researchers found.

Keep aware of pros and cons of digital chest tomosynthesis
By Philip Ward
Low-dose digital tomosynthesis of the thorax administers a similar radiation dose to plain radiography but is far more accurate, can be applied to most lung nodule evaluations, and is useful for follow-up of the size change of nodules or other lesions, according to new prize-winning research.

Lung cancer mortality rates among European women rise steadily
By Cynthia E. Keen
Death from lung cancer has been rising steadily at an annual rate of 2.3% over the past decade among women living in the European Union, according to a study of female lung cancer mortality in 33 countries published in the latest issue of Lung Cancer.

iPad turns in mixed results for chest radiographs
By Erik L. Ridley
The iPad appears capable of supporting the diagnosis of pneumothorax on chest radiographs, according to an initial evaluation of an iOS-based image viewing app developed by a team from Massachusetts General Hospital. The group also found that its app, at least for now, didn't fare as well in cases with nonpneumothorax findings.

MBIR finds same nodules as ASIR, at fraction of dose
By Eric Barnes
Second-generation iterative reconstruction software doesn't necessarily improve radiologists' ability to detect lung nodules compared to earlier versions. But the new software permits the same lesion detection power at greatly reduced CT radiation doses, according to a study presented at last month's RSNA 2012 meeting in Chicago.
