CT explores size, growth of ground-glass nodules
By Eric Barnes
Two studies recently published online in Radiology yield important new information about CT-detected part-solid lung nodules. Mass measurements of ground-glass nodules are the most accurate, say Dutch researchers, but a Korean group found that most part-solid nodules disappear over time -- and do so in predictable ways.

Caution urged on early mammography for high-risk women
By Edward Susman
Women at high risk of breast cancer should be cautious about undergoing mammography or other chest x-ray studies before the age of 30 due to the risk that radiation exposure might trigger cancer, according to research presented at last week's RSNA meeting in Chicago.

Volume-based assessments useful for managing lung nodules detected on CT
By Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health), Dec 3 - When noncalcified lung nodules are detected by CT, assessment of their volume and volume-doubling time with repeat CT scans can be useful for deciding the best course of action, new research suggests.

Chest x-ray CAD fails to boost observer performance
By Erik L. Ridley
CHICAGO - Computer-aided detection (CAD) software may not produce significant improvement in detecting suspicious lesions on chest radiographs, but it's not necessarily the technology's fault, according to research presented Wednesday at the 2009 RSNA meeting in Chicago.

Scientific poster digital format offers potential to transform medium
By Cynthia E. Keen
CHICAGO - Displaying scientific posters in digital format at this year's RSNA meeting allows authors not only to convey facts, graphs, and photos, but also to incorporate some interactive functionality. Onsite digital displays offer huge potential to educate readers in ways that even the best developed paper poster cannot.
