CMS says yes to CT lung cancer screening for seniors
Bucking a negative assessment from its own appointed review panel, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on Monday approved CT lung cancer screening for Medicare recipients, saying the evidence is sufficient to justify screening high-risk individuals until the age of 74 years.

CT lung cancer screening cost-effective in NLST
Lung cancer screening was found to be reasonably cost-effective in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), but real-world results could vary based on screening methodology and other factors, according to the results of a long-awaited analysis in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Structured reporting of pancreatic CT makes decisions easier
Using structured rather than narrative reporting for CT made patient management much clearer for pancreatic cancer surgeons, as it is less likely to leave out important information needed to determine whether tumors can be surgically removed, according to a study in Radiology.

Even small amounts of plaque linked to heart attack, death
A study of nearly 38,000 patients that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that even small amounts of coronary artery plaque increased the risk of heart attack or death a year after diagnosis.

Cerebral angiographic data reconstructed from time-resolved CTP
Friday, December 5 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SST14-09 | Room S403BWavelet analysis is a powerful method of displaying angiographic data from CT perfusion (CTP) and for separating arterial and venous flow patterns. Can it be used to visualize the vascular tree from CTP data in stroke patients, eliminating the need for a separate angiography exam routinely performed for that purpose?

Low-dose, 1-step stroke protocol combines CTA and CTP
Friday, December 5 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SST09-07 | Room N226Researchers in the Netherlands are honing a new one-step stroke imaging protocol that promises to save dose and time, acquiring CT angiography (CTA) of the neck with head CT perfusion (CTP) during a single acquisition.

CT ownership growth among otolaryngologists and neurologists: Major trend?
Friday, December 5 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SST10-04 | Room N227Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) physicians and neurologists are among the physician groups increasingly putting CT scanners in their offices -- bypassing radiologists for in-office exams. How common is the trend?

Chest size swings calcium scores on CT scans
Friday, December 5 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | SST03-03 | Room S504ABDoes chest size, since it is related to obesity, affect calcium scores? Dutch researchers aimed to find out, having previously found an association between obesity and coronary calcium scores, and shown that CT image quality deteriorates with increased body weight.

CT aims for takeover of scintigraphy in GI bleeding
Thursday, December 4 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSQ07-04 | Room E353AAcute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (GI) is a medical and surgical emergency that can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. But how should physicians detect where it comes from? CT does it best, researchers from Pakistan will report in this presentation.

AI model detects achalasia on chest x-rays
By Will Morton
Currently, few noninvasive tests are available for diagnosing the swallowing condition.
September 18, 2025
Saliency maps using Grad-CAM++ (E and H) show the model’s point of interest in chest radiographs (C and F) of patients with achalasia. The model’s point of interest is highlighted with red, yellow, and green. In both the upper and lower panels (E and H), the point of interest is located in a region around the upper esophagus that corresponds to an air esophagogram and/or air-fluid level in the esophagus in the barium esophagogram (D and G).

Echogenic rind on breast ultrasound holds diagnostic significance

Diagnostic transverse ultrasound image of the left breast in a 64-year-old woman shows irregular hypoechoic nonparallel mass with indistinct margins corresponding to palpable finding, assessed as BI-RADS category 4. Both readers assessed mass as having associated echogenic rind with complete circumferential extent (arrowheads). Ultrasound-guided biopsy of mass yielded diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (intermediate grade, luminal A molecular subtype, no lymphovascular invasion).
