Fast thoracic MRI emerges as alternative to chest x-ray
By Rebekah Moan
How does MRI compare with chest x-ray in detecting cardiac and noncardiac findings? Very similarly, according to new research from Italy. Both modalities identified pulmonary nodules, had similar pulmonary nodule detection rates, and more.

Low-dose CT can deliver cost-effective lung screening
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A Swiss modeling study showed a national low-dose CT screening program for lung cancer can be cost-effective. The study, published in the July issue of Lung Cancer, sought to clarify the impact of screening across a high-income population and revealed it may reduce mortality by 6% to 15%.

Opinion: Radiographers do not equal radiologists
By Dr. Emanuele Neri
Studies that compare the reading skills of radiographers against those of radiologists are flawed, says Dr. Emanuele Neri. Trying to prove that "radiographers = radiologists" is the wrong exercise because the skillsets of the two groups are so different, but "radiographers + radiologists = better care" is valid, he writes.

Radiographers: 'Yes, we can read chest x-rays'
By Philip Ward
The U.K. Society of Radiographers has refuted the suggestion that radiographers must not read chest x-rays and cannot conduct clinical image reporting to a standard equivalent to a senior radiologist. It's a "rather sad spectacle," according to its CEO Richard Evans.

Opinion: Radiographers must not read chest x-rays
By Dr. Anna Rita Larici
It's unacceptable that radiographers, who do not receive the same training as radiologists, can report chest x-rays, which are difficult to interpret even for experienced thoracic radiologists, according to Dr. Anna Rita Larici from Milan, Italy.

Ultrasound finds more pneumonia than x-ray
By Kate Madden Yee
Lung ultrasound finds more cases of pneumonia in children and young adults than chest radiography does, according to a study published online on May 11 in the journal Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology.

RöKo 2018: Neural network looks deep into the lungs
Today's radiologists can use elaborate, computer-supported analysis methods to learn far more from CT data. A study presented at the German Radiology Congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress, RöKo 2018) showed that CT datasets can provide a fairly precise assessment of lung function.

Kauczor: Lung cancer screening works if you do it right
Lung cancer screening was a central theme at the German Radiology Congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress, RöKo 2018) in Leipzig. Dr. Hans-Ulrich Kauczor from Heidelberg explained how screening with low-dose CT can be used effectively.

Radiographers read chest x-rays as well as radiologists
By Kate Madden Yee
Radiographers can read chest x-rays as well as radiologists, according to a new study published on 30 April in Academic Radiology. The finding is good news for busy departments -- allowing radiographers to read chest x-rays could streamline workflow, the U.K. researchers noted.

CAD gains momentum for scoring of lung nodules
By Philip Ward
Computer-aided detection (CAD) and risk stratification are useful for excluding lung cancer on thoracic CT, according to Scottish and Dutch researchers. CAD followed by radiology review of suspicious cases is cost-effective and can lead to a 30% reduction in screening costs, they say.

Dubai Health Authority highlights chest x-ray AI success
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
A chest x-ray artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm developed by Agfa HealthCare has yielded promising results in a preliminary evaluation of nearly 5,000 chest x-rays by the Dubai Health Authority in the United Arab Emirates.
