iPad turns in mixed results for chest radiographs
By Erik L. Ridley
The iPad appears capable of supporting the diagnosis of pneumothorax on chest radiographs, according to an initial evaluation of an iOS-based image viewing app developed by a team from Massachusetts General Hospital. The group also found that its app, at least for now, didn't fare as well in cases with nonpneumothorax findings.

MBIR finds same nodules as ASIR, at fraction of dose
By Eric Barnes
Second-generation iterative reconstruction software doesn't necessarily improve radiologists' ability to detect lung nodules compared to earlier versions. But the new software permits the same lesion detection power at greatly reduced CT radiation doses, according to a study presented at last month's RSNA 2012 meeting in Chicago.

Time to ditch the chest x-ray, Norwegians conclude
By Eric Barnes
CHICAGO - If cost isn't an issue -- and that's a big if -- it's time to say goodbye to chest radiography, say researchers from Norway who compared chest x-ray to ultralow-dose CT. Results were presented at the 2012 RSNA meeting.

CT can replace x-ray for pediatric cystic fibrosis patients
By Rebekah Moan
CHICAGO - Ultralow-dose CT is on par with a frontal chest x-ray in terms of dose (0.05 mSv) and gives an accurate diagnosis in pediatric cystic fibrosis patients, Belgian researchers revealed on Monday afternoon at the annual RSNA meeting.

PET assists in predicting response to chemotherapy
By Philip Ward
Dutch researchers have used positron emission tomography (PET) to predict how much of an anticancer drug is absorbed by a tumor. In a preliminary study in lung cancer patients reported today in Dublin, they revealed that less than 1% of the drug docetaxel is absorbed by the tumors.

Cases of asbestos exposure require close scrutiny
By Philip Ward
Asbestos-related disease remains an important issue due to the long latent period between environmental or occupational exposure and clinical manifestation, and radiologists must be able to distinguish between common, asymptomatic conditions and serious cases, according to U.K. research.

Noncontrast CT may underestimate lung nodule volume
By Eric Barnes
Low-dose unenhanced CT scans may underestimate the volume of smaller lung nodules compared with standard-dose contrast CT studies, creating potential problems when tracking nodules over time, wrote researchers in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Study: CAD can add value to lung cancer screening
By Erik L. Ridley
Computer-aided detection (CAD) software can add additional benefits -- without too many false positives -- over double reading of low-dose chest CT examinations in a lung cancer screening environment, researchers from the Netherlands have found in research published in the October issue of European Radiology.
