CT lung cancer screening is complicated for VA patients
For U.S. Veterans Affairs (VA) patients at high risk for lung cancer, CT screening is a "complex endeavor" that turns up multiple comorbidities and introduces potential harms and increased costs, concludes a new study published online January 30 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

CAD finds vertebral lung cancer metastases
Readers using an original computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm that subtracts thoracic 3D CT images from follow-up images found more vertebral metastases than readers working unaided, according to a study in PLOS One.

PET/CT CAD finds common spinal metastases
A new multipurpose computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm was able to detect and characterize different kinds of spinal metastases in PET/CT images automatically and accurately, say researchers from two U.S. institutions. The fully automated system could help doctors diagnose and manage patients with the most common musculoskeletal metastases.

3D-printed kidneys change preop surgical planning
Even experienced nephrologists can improve their preoperative planning when 3D-printed kidneys are available, according to the results of a new study in Abdominal Radiology. 3D models can shift some surgeries to less-invasive options after the translucent printed models are used for planning.

CT lung screening finds cancer in nonsmokers
High-risk nonsmokers have lung cancer at rates comparable to those of smokers in the National Lung Screening Trial, according to a multicenter lung cancer screening trial in Taiwan. If replicated, the results could affect the question of who needs CT lung cancer screening, particularly regarding individuals exposed to secondhand smoke.

Mammography use rises with ACA; colonoscopy, not so much
The U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) has increased adherence to mammography screening by eliminating out-of-pocket costs, according to a new study published January 9 in Cancer. At the same time, reducing expenses did not increase colonoscopy rates among poorer patients.

NLST: Lung cancer growth rates differ by sex
Lung cancers in men and women grow at sufficiently different rates that radiologists should consider managing them differently depending on the patient's sex.

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

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.
