French researchers aim for standardization in CT reporting
By John Brosky
CT has emerged as a critical validation tool in assessing tumors. Yet radiology has an image problem with oncologists. Standardization of reporting should help convince oncologists about the value of imaging for assessing treatment, and ensure radiologists improve their reporting quality, according to French researchers.

MRI still no match for CT in cystic fibrosis
By Eric Barnes
The key imaging components of cystic fibrosis of the lungs are bronchiectasis and air trapping. For evaluating both, CT remains far and away the superior imaging modality despite radiation concerns, and despite recent improvements in MRI techniques, according to a study from Italy and the Netherlands.
