Session probes 'dollars and sense' of lung cancer screening
Wednesday, December 4 | 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | SPSC41 | Room E450AThe debate over CT lung cancer screening isn't just about safety, it's about dollars. This special controversy session takes on the issue with National Lung Screening Trial data, addressing what the information shows, along with the limitations and cost-effectiveness of screening.

Iterative reconstruction plus new detector circuitry aids stent assessment
Wednesday, December 4 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSM20-06 | Room S404ABCT with iterative reconstruction is racking up points throughout the body for high-resolution imaging at low doses, but improved detector technology also is an important part of the picture in boosting the quality of low-dose imaging, according to German researchers.

Costs remain low in workup of extracolonic findings
Wednesday, December 4 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSK05-01 | Room E351In this scientific session, Italian investigators will discuss their conclusion that it's not expensive to work up patients with potentially serious extracolonic findings, especially considering the benefits of finding serious conditions early.

Breast DECT shows potential to predict malignancy
Tuesday, December 3 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSG14-02 | Room S403BOne of the hardest jobs in diagnostic radiology is distinguishing benign from malignant findings. So a new project that harnesses dual-energy CT (DECT) to analyze water, lipid, and protein content of breast tissue and identify malignancies with high accuracy is welcome news.

Subgroup analysis based on lesion size on PCCT images. The red outlined areas highlight the magnified images of lesions. (A-C) PCCT images in a 62-year-old woman with a body mass index (BMI) of 23.6, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. A lesion with a long diameter of 25 mm was identified in the right lower lobe on axial images acquired during the venous phase. For lesions less than or equal to 30 mm, decreasing section thickness improved boundary sharpness and contrast between the necrotic area and enhanced tissue, with optimal visualization at 0.4 mm. (D-F) PCCT images in a 66-year-old man with a BMI of 24.2 who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, revealing a lesion with a long diameter of 52 mm in the right lower lobe. For lesions greater than 30 mm, a section thickness of 1 mm demonstrated better contrast and clarity at the boundary of the necrotic area compared with 0.4 mm. This observation supported the selection of an appropriate section thickness for accurate quantification of necrotic regions within the lesion.
