CT proves invaluable in chest trauma cases
By Philip Ward
The increasing use of CT in emergency medicine means that radiologists have become significant members of the clinical team making key decisions about the therapeutic process, according to a Czech expert on trauma imaging.

Survey highlights different practices in CT dose reduction
By Frances Rylands-Monk
Every radiologist remains keen to reduce radiation dose, but not all of them are tailoring kVp values to suit individual patients, a questionnaire distributed among members of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging has revealed.

Hands-on approach optimizes computed radiography performance
By Philip Ward
Automatic exposure control systems must be reconfigured when computed radiography is introduced, and regular quality assurance checks coupled with three yearly patient dose surveys allow optimum performance to be maintained, Scottish researchers have found.

Tread cautiously when it comes to lung CT screening
By Philip Ward
An eminent group of researchers has stressed the need to avoid getting too carried away with the potential benefits of lung cancer screening with CT. They have struck a decidedly cautious note in a commentary published online on 8 August by the European Journal of Epidemiology.

New risk model predicts need for CT lung screening
By Eric Barnes
A new risk model for lung cancer goes where Framingham dared to tread for heart disease: providing sophisticated assessments of which individuals would most likely benefit from CT lung screening, according to a report in the 21 August issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.

PET/MR equals PET/CT for lung cancer, with far less radiation
By Wayne Forrest
A pilot study conducted by German researchers and published in the August issue of Radiology suggests that PET/MRI provides diagnostic-quality images for assessing pulmonary masses in lung cancer cases, while cutting radiation dose by 75%.

Short-term feedback fails to increase chest CAD effectiveness
By Erik L. Ridley
Providing readers with individual feedback on their performance after using chest radiography computer-aided detection (CAD) software does not yield an improved ability to differentiate CAD candidates for pulmonary nodules, Dutch researchers have found.

Radiology's graveyard: Extinct exams you may not know about
By Dr. Adrian Thomas
Modern imaging has replaced many of the older radiological techniques. These older examinations often involved considerable technical skills from both radiologists and radiographers, and they spent many years perfecting their skills.

Bone suppression tool helps find pneumonia in chest x-rays
By Erik L. Ridley
Thanks to its ability to improve the conspicuity of focal lung disease, bone suppression image processing can significantly improve radiologists' accuracy in identifying focal pneumonia on chest radiographs, according to new research published online on 5 July by European Radiology.

CARS: iPads equal to workstations for 2D lung nodule detection
By Frances Rylands-Monk
Research from Italy shows 2D visualization of CT and MRI images on the iPad 2 can allow detection of pulmonary nodules as small as 2 mm. Attendees at the Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery (CARS) congress learned that across different CT exams no such lesion was missed on the iPad 2 compared with conventional workstations.

Incidental findings on CT lung screening offer benefits, costs
By James Brice
Incidental findings uncovered at low-dose CT lung cancer screening increase the overall yield of malignancies diagnosed from the annual exams for high-risk, asymptomatic patients, but their evaluation adds an additional layer of cost to such programs, Danish researchers have found.
