Italian CT trial boosts lung cancer screening
By Rebekah Moan
An Italian CT lung cancer screening trial has found low-dose CT screening could reduce lung cancer and overall mortality, and it is the first European study to show results clearly in the same direction of other major lung cancer screening trials.

Ultralow-dose CT works for emphysema quantification
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A Swiss study has shown that a CT protocol using tin filtration and iterative reconstruction reduces radiation dose levels to the equivalent of a chest x-ray for lung volumetry and also the detection and quantification of emphysema. The results nudge ultralow-dose CT ever closer to routine workup of chest pathologies.

IR with CAD permits ultralow lung CT dose
By Eric Barnes
Iterative reconstruction (IR) can improve lung nodule detection with 3D computer-aided detection (CAD) to the point where nodule detection using ultralow-dose CT is comparable with standard and low-dose exposures, according to researchers from Japan presenting at ECR 2017 in Vienna.

Chest CT with iterative recon achieves x-ray doses
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - Chest CT scans acquired at radiation doses as low as an x-ray showed lesions of all kinds conspicuously, using the latest dual-source CT scanner and iterative reconstruction. Individualized approaches tailored to specific lesion types cut the dose even further, researchers said on Friday at ECR 2017.

Video from ECR 2017: Dr. Martine Rémy-Jardin on pulmonary embolism
VIENNA - When you mention pulmonary embolism (PE), the chances are you will think of Dr. Martine Rémy-Jardin, PhD, head of the cardiothoracic imaging department at the University Centre of Lille in France. In this video interview, she speaks about persistent controversies in PE and how to optimize patient management.

CAD beats readers for subsolid lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
VIENNA - A computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme outperformed experienced human readers in detecting subsolid nodules as well as cancers in data from more than 2,000 lung cancer screening subjects, researchers reported on Thursday at ECR 2017.

Software quantifies emphysema on MDCT images
By Erik L. Ridley
VIENNA - An automated software algorithm can be used to quantify emphysema on MDCT studies, offering radiologists a useful tool for diagnosis and follow-up of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to research presented on Thursday at ECR 2017.

Cost-effectiveness, implementation still hinder lung cancer screening
By Katrina Megget
The public desire for lung cancer screening and the ability of the medical profession to implement it are currently at odds, despite recent findings that suggest screening via low-dose CT can reduce mortality. The problem is lung cancer screening remains controversial and is not as straightforward as most people think, according to Dr. Stefan Diederich, PhD.

Surgeon input will boost CT lung cancer screening
By Frances Rylands-Monk
CT lung cancer screening is at the fore with 10 new recommendations from the European Society of Thoracic Surgery (ESTS). A recent paper written by an international team outlines the ESTS's plans for improving lung cancer CT screening by involving surgeons at all levels of screening strategy.

CT lung screening cost-effective with stringent criteria
By Eric Barnes
Restricting eligibility for CT lung cancer screening to the heaviest smokers would make the exam more cost-effective on a population basis, according to a study published February 7 in PLOS Medicine.

Ultrasound elevates diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
By Erik L. Ridley
Adding lung and venous ultrasound into the diagnostic process for pulmonary embolism can yield improved sensitivity and specificity, obviating the need for CT pulmonary angiography in many cases, according to research from Italy that will be published in the March issue of Academic Emergency Medicine.

CT lung screening enters pipeline in Middle East
By Inga Stevens
DUBAI - The Abu Dhabi guidelines for CT lung cancer screening were the subject of much debate at the thoracic imaging session during the Total Radiology conference at Arab Health 2017. The guidelines cover an unusual risk factor: 20-year history of water pipe (or shisha) use.
