Radiologists prefer optical colonoscopy over CTC
Citing the certainty provided by conventional optical colonoscopy results, a majority of radiologists would choose it over CT colonography (CTC) for their own colorectal cancer screening, according to the results of a small survey reported in the February American Journal of Roentgenology.

Smokers ineligible for screening have same lung cancer rate
Long-term smokers who are at high risk for lung cancer but don't qualify for CT screening under the strict guidelines of the National Lung Screening Trial nevertheless have the same rate of cancers as those who do qualify, concludes a study in the February Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Article blasts LNT theory of radiation harm
An article in the American Journal of Clinical Oncology calls for the abandonment of the linear no-threshold (LNT) model, which holds that even low levels of radiation -- similar to those used in medical imaging -- can be harmful.

Extracolonic findings on CTC are rare but often important
Extracolonic findings are relatively uncommon in CT colonography (CTC) screening, but the few that require follow-up tend to be highly significant to the patient's health, according to a new report in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

More former smokers should get CT lung screening
Low-dose CT lung cancer screening should be expanded to include smokers who gave up the habit long ago, concludes a new study published in the February issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

Colorectal cancer patients diagnosed younger than screening age
Many colorectal cancer patients are being diagnosed when they are younger than 50 years old, the age at which most guidelines say screening should begin, according to a new analysis of U.S. patients in Cancer. The findings raise questions about how -- and whether -- screening should be addressed in younger adults.

Algorithm corrects contrast enhancement artifacts in dual-source CTC
A new postprocessing technique for dual-source CT colonography (CTC) corrects for artifacts that mimic contrast enhancement created by fecal tagging materials. The algorithm boosts sensitivity and reduces false-positive detections significantly.

Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.
