Contrast CT distinguishes benign from malignant adrenal masses
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 25 | 10:45 a.m.-10:55 a.m. | SSA09-01 | Room E351Adrenal masses are commonly seen at contrast-enhanced CT and most are benign, but when confirmation is critical, additional exams such as unenhanced CT, MR, washout CT, and PET are often ordered to make the call. But can contrast-enhanced CT do the job reliably without more tests?

Mortality down in Japan after CT lung cancer screening begins
By Eric Barnes
Results from a lung cancer screening program in Japan suggest that implementation of low-dose chest CT screening in the community may decrease lung cancer mortality within a few years after it's introduced -- at levels comparable to those found in the National Lung Screening Trial in the U.S., according to a study published this month in Lung Cancer.
