CT lung screening rates show gradual upward trend
Participation in CT lung cancer screening programs among eligible individuals in the U.S. has been making modest gains over the past several years. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released on February 28 new survey findings with statewide rates as high as 16%.

CT CAC predicts risk of death in smokers
The presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) on CT scans was associated with an increased risk of death from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and all causes combined -- including for a subset of smokers eligible for CT lung cancer screening -- in a study published in the February issue of Atherosclerosis.

CT again tops DNA tests for early coronavirus detection
In a study covering more than 1,000 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus disease, chest CT proved to be more accurate than the standard method of DNA testing for early diagnosis of the disease in high-risk individuals. The findings were published online February 26 in Radiology.

3D light scanner supplements CT for bedside procedures
Researchers from Tennessee have developed a navigation technique that employs a 3D light scanner and 3D printing technology to improve the accuracy and workflow of minimally invasive procedures reliant on CT data. They describe their technique in an article recently published in World Neurosurgery.

How can radiology help limit COVID-19 transmission?
The critical role of CT in diagnosing the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has placed radiology at the frontline of disease management. Researchers discuss preemptive measures radiology departments can take to limit virus transmission in a February 19 article published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

CT proves vital for early diagnosis of COVID-19
Chest CT demonstrated better sensitivity than DNA testing at detecting coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in high-risk individuals upon initial presentation of symptoms in a new study, published online February 19 in Radiology. The findings affirm the vital role of CT in the early diagnosis of the condition.

Prehydration not needed before contrast CT of kidneys
Prehydrating patients who have chronic kidney disease before they undergo a contrast-enhanced CT exam has been the standard of care for years. But new research suggests that the practice results in unnecessary costs with few patient benefits. The findings were published online on February 17 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Can ultrasound, 3D printing deepen maternal-fetal bonds?
When a pregnant woman sees her fetus on imaging scans, it can help strengthen the bond she feels with her unborn child, say researchers. They demonstrate how 3D-printed models based on ultrasound scans confirmed this concept in a study published online on February 8 in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing.

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.

Could AI scoring help with managing 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.
