Tomo-CAD combo targets lung cancer screening
By Brian Casey
What if you had a lung cancer screening modality that was better than x-ray and nearly as good as CT, but with less radiation and expense? Researchers from Hungary are investigating the idea with a digital tomosynthesis system that they assembled themselves, along with homegrown computer-aided detection (CAD) software.

Lung MRI rivals CT in complex pneumonia
By Philip Ward
MRI is accurate for detecting problems in children with lower airway tract infection and can pinpoint the dynamics of morphologic changes during treatment, and soon it may replace CT in cases of complicated pneumonia, according to award-winning German research.

CAD systems compared: What you should look for
By Frances Rylands-Monk
A Dutch study suggests the best computer-aided detection (CAD) system can detect most pulmonary nodules at a low false-positive rate and find additional lesions missed by human readers, but awareness of the varying reliability of different CAD algorithms is crucial.

Get savvy on neonatal chest x-rays
By Philip Ward
It's time to brush up your knowledge of neonatal chest x-rays, and doing so will have a positive impact on patient management. That's the view of radiologists who presented their experiences at the 2015 annual meeting of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging, held in Barcelona, Spain.

ESTI award goes to CT study of severe emphysema
By Philip Ward
CT can detect changes accurately in regional lung volume after bronchoscopic volume reduction using a synthetic polymer sealant, according to prize-winning research presented at the 2015 annual meeting of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging (ESTI), held in Barcelona, Spain.

Lung cancer surgery patients live longer with CT follow-up
By Eric Barnes
Patients with recurrent lung cancer live longer after surgery if their management includes CT follow-up, concludes a new Danish study presented on 27 September at the European Respiratory Society conference in Amsterdam.

Advanced image processing boosts neck tumor assessment
By Eric Barnes
Which image postprocessing techniques are best for evaluating tumors of the trachea and bronchus? Multiplanar reformations, volume rendering, and virtual bronchoscopy each have their roles, concludes a new study in PLOS One.

CAD picks patients with TB drug resistance
By Eric Barnes
Researchers in Belarus have developed a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme that can fairly accurately predict drug resistance in tuberculosis (TB) patients. The results show that the prediction tool could potentially improve triage and care of TB patients.

Bedside chest x-rays: Are radiologists needed?
By Rebekah Moan
When it comes to reading bedside chest x-rays, is the radiologist still needed, or can the task be delegated to other physicians? Swiss researchers have found that as long as the person is experienced, the discipline really doesn't matter.

Lung x-rays predict mortality in MERS patients
By Brian Casey
A new study of Saudi Arabian patients with Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) found that a simple method of scoring pathology on lung radiographs can be used to predict which patients are at risk of dying, according to an article in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

CT analysis algorithm defines malignant lung nodules
By Eric Barnes
A multitasking algorithm designed to analyze CT lung cancer screening images and pick out likely malignancies, nodule volumes, as well as other characteristics at CT, delivers significant, if modest, performance improvements over that based on size alone.

BMJ: Is COPD being misdiagnosed?
By AuntMinnieEurope.com staff writers
The new chronic lung disease guidelines either overestimate or underestimate the extent of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) depending on the patients they're applied to, according to a new report in BMJ.
