Shalmali Pal[email protected]CTChest specialists weigh pros and cons of CT screening for lung cancerSAN FRANCISCO - CT can detect smaller lung malignancies and thus improve survival rates, but do the benefits of early screening outweigh the risks? Two clinicians debated the merits and the drawbacks of lung cancer screening Monday at Chest 2000, sponsored by the American College of Chest Physicians.October 23, 2000CTChest conference opens as studies shed new light on nodules and tumor growthThe role of CT in the detection and assessment of lung cancer will be a major topic at Chest 2000, the annual scientific assembly of the American College of Chest Physicians being held in San Francisco this week. The conference coincides with the publication of two new studies on lung cancer detection with CT in the latest issues of Radiology and the British Journal of Radiology.October 22, 2000CTCT features of small nodulesIn the British Journal of Radiology, Japanese investigators compared the pathological features of rapidly growing, small peripheral lung cancers to their radiological appearance on screening CT.October 22, 2000CTVolumetrically determined growth ratePart III: In Radiology, investigators from the department of radiology at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical Center, including Claudia Henschke, used high-resolution CT volumetric measurements to assess the growth of small pulmonary nodules.October 22, 2000MRIFLAIR MRI falls short for diagnosing leptomeningeal metastasesDoes adding a little FLAIR to contrast-enhanced MRI improve the depiction of leptomeningeal metastases in the brain?

SUVR images were corrected for partial volume effects and masked with the gray matter mask used for volume of interest delineation. Overall tau accumulation is comparable between the late-life depression (LLD, middle column) and non-depressed cognitively unimpaired comparison (HC, left column) groups, while abnormal tau accumulation, which is most pronounced in the mesial temporal lobe, can be seen in the mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease group (right column).
