New risk model predicts need for CT lung screening
By Eric Barnes
A new risk model for lung cancer goes where Framingham dared to tread for heart disease: providing sophisticated assessments of which individuals would most likely benefit from CT lung screening, according to a report in the 21 August issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.

PET/MR equals PET/CT for lung cancer, with far less radiation
By Wayne Forrest
A pilot study conducted by German researchers and published in the August issue of Radiology suggests that PET/MRI provides diagnostic-quality images for assessing pulmonary masses in lung cancer cases, while cutting radiation dose by 75%.

Short-term feedback fails to increase chest CAD effectiveness
By Erik L. Ridley
Providing readers with individual feedback on their performance after using chest radiography computer-aided detection (CAD) software does not yield an improved ability to differentiate CAD candidates for pulmonary nodules, Dutch researchers have found.

Radiology's graveyard: Extinct exams you may not know about
By Dr. Adrian Thomas
Modern imaging has replaced many of the older radiological techniques. These older examinations often involved considerable technical skills from both radiologists and radiographers, and they spent many years perfecting their skills.

Bone suppression tool helps find pneumonia in chest x-rays
By Erik L. Ridley
Thanks to its ability to improve the conspicuity of focal lung disease, bone suppression image processing can significantly improve radiologists' accuracy in identifying focal pneumonia on chest radiographs, according to new research published online on 5 July by European Radiology.

CARS: iPads equal to workstations for 2D lung nodule detection
By Frances Rylands-Monk
Research from Italy shows 2D visualization of CT and MRI images on the iPad 2 can allow detection of pulmonary nodules as small as 2 mm. Attendees at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) congress learned that across different CT exams no such lesion was missed on the iPad 2 compared with conventional workstations.

Incidental findings on CT lung screening offer benefits, costs
By James Brice
Incidental findings uncovered at low-dose CT lung cancer screening increase the overall yield of malignancies diagnosed from the annual exams for high-risk, asymptomatic patients, but their evaluation adds an additional layer of cost to such programs, Danish researchers have found.

PET/CT enhances assessment of pulmonary melanoma
By Philip Ward
PET cannot rule out malignancy in pulmonary nodules less than 12 mm on expiratory CT, and melanoma patients with PET-negative pulmonary nodules less than 12 mm require further investigation, a new Austrian study has found.

Riverain promotes ESTI studies
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
Two new studies being presented at this weekend's 2012 European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI) meeting in London show how bone suppression software by Riverain Technologies significantly improves radiologists' ability to detect potentially cancerous lung nodules in x-ray images, the company said in a statement.

Postmortem CT shows cause of death after acute chest pain
By Eric Barnes
Postmortem CT angiography combined with image-guided biopsy can nearly always determine the cause of death in patients who succumb after acute chest pain, a question that has often gone unanswered, according to a Swiss study published in Radiology.
