Orlando center bets on CT lung cancer screening
A little more than a year after a Florida cancer care hospital took the plunge into low-dose CT lung cancer screening, the program has proved its worth, according to the physicians who are running it -- though they admit they wouldn't mind having a few more people to screen.

How to identify and mentor the troubled radiology resident
Residents aren't expected to be perfect -- they're on the job to learn. But some inevitably struggle, and whether a resident has one particular area of weakness or 10, program directors and mentors need to identify problems early and move decisively to solve them, according to an expert on residency education.

Study finds CT lung cancer screening could save 12K lives a year
Full implementation of CT lung cancer screening in the U.S. could save more than 12,000 lives each year, even if the relatively conservative criteria of the National Lung Screening Trial are used, according to a new study in Cancer. The study is one of the first to set a definitive value on the potential benefits of CT screening.

New CT lung cancer screening rules save more lives than NLST
Lung cancer screening with CT would detect more cancers and save more lives if current screening criteria were modified to include a wider range of individuals at risk, concludes a new study in the February 21 New England Journal of Medicine.

CCTA predicts heart attack in people without risk factors
A new study in Radiology concludes that coronary CT angiography (CCTA) can predict adverse coronary events not only in patients with risk factors for heart disease, but also in those without such factors. The results suggest a more prominent role for CCTA versus using clinical risk scores to predict heart disease risk.

Raising threshold for positive lung cancer screen cuts workups
How big should a lung nodule be before it can be considered worthy of diagnostic workup? It's not just an academic question, as it plays into the growing debate over the clinical value and cost-effectiveness of CT lung cancer screening, according to a study published online February 18 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Radiation plus surgery boosts rectal cancer survival
Combined treatment with radiotherapy and surgery is only an option in the treatment guidelines, but patients with advanced rectal or rectosigmoid cancer live longer when they receive both, according to a presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.

NY hospital to shutter radiology residency program
A New York City hospital on Monday moved to terminate its radiology residency program, leaving 11 residents without a program or funding to continue beyond the current program year ending June 30. Funding for the program is being shifted to pay for more spots for primary care residents.

CT, MR don't improve outcomes of some stroke patients
Using advanced imaging following the onset of ischemic stroke to identify patients who would benefit from mechanical clot removal does not improve patient selection for use of the technology, according to a study published on Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Two cases of pathologically confirmed intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas in 68-year-old male patients. In both cases (A-H, case 1; I-P, case 2), CT scans (B, F, case 1; J, N, case 2) revealed intrahepatic bile duct dilation and suspected nodular lesions. While F-18 FDG PET/CT (A, C, D, case 1; I, K, L, case 2) failed to demonstrate abnormal tracer uptake (SUVmax 3.5, TBR 1.3 in Case 1; SUVmax 2.6, TBR 1.2 in Case 2), F-18 FAPI-04 PET/CT (E, G, H, case 1; M, O, P, case 2 ) showed positive uptake in the nodular lesions (SUVmax 9.7, TBR 3.5 in Case 1; SUVmax 9.6, TBR 3.3 in Case 2).

The number of all visible structures was fewer at an ambient light of 500 lux compared to both 25 and 75 lux. In addition, structure visibility was better with a gray wall color at all ambient light levels. Paired comparison between monitors showed better structure visibility on the high specification monitor for all condition.
