CT lung screening gets boost by adding COPD sequence
By James Brice
Low-dose CT lung screening has already demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing mortality from lung cancer. Now, Dutch researchers have found that adding a short sequence to the low-dose CT protocol can help the modality detect chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to a study published on Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Novel x-ray computer model avoids need for repeat exposures
By Rebekah Moan
A digitally reconstructed radiograph computer algorithm has been produced -- and validated -- that adequately simulates anatomical and system noise. The image evaluators grade simulated chest x-rays at different exposure parameters to optimize radiographic technique for clinical computed radiography without repeat patient exposures.
