CAD for virtual monochromatic CTC images shows high accuracy
By Eric Barnes
A computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm analyzed virtual monochromatic dual-energy CT colonography (CTC) images accurately with few false positives in a study from Massachusetts General Hospital. The researchers believe the study could pave the way to more accurate minimal-prep CTC.

AJR: CT shows evidence of lung cancer spread via airways
By Eric Barnes
New research with CT supports the hypothesis that lung adenocarcinoma may spread through the airways and not just through the blood. So-called aerogenous metastasis of lung cancer has implications for staging, management, and prognosis and may be underrecognized, the authors report in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Novel CT technique emerges for acute appendicitis
By Philip Ward
Abdominal CT with compression to the right lower quadrant has a high diagnostic accuracy in cases of acute appendicitis, and it can be considered as a CT counterpart of graded compression ultrasound, Turkish researchers reported at the recent RSNA 2014 meeting.

Nonsolid lung nodules found on CT screening harbor few cancers
By Eric Barnes
Nonsolid nodules detected with CT lung cancer screening are often indolent, and even when they do harbor cancer, the long lead times before such nodules develop make it safe to follow them up less often, according to new long-term data presented at the RSNA 2014 meeting.

By Eric Barnes
CT scans show that people with emphysema are at risk of earlier death than those without the disease, even if they have no evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or airflow obstruction, according to a study published on Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
