Abraham Kim[email protected]CTCT lung screening risk models optimize nodule managementRisk prediction models can differentiate between benign and malignant nodules detected on CT lung cancer screening exams more accurately than current clinical guidelines, underscoring the potential value of the models for lung nodule management, according to a study published online February 14 in JAMA Network Open.February 14, 2020CTCoronavirus toll surges after sanction of CT diagnosisThe number of new confirmed cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in China hit roughly 15,000 within the past 24 hours alone, a major increase, according to news reports. The surge follows a decision by Chinese officials to expand the diagnostic criteria for COVID-19 to include cases diagnosed with CT.February 12, 2020CTCT outpaces DNA testing for early coronavirus detectionResearchers from China are reporting that chest CT was able to detect COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), in individuals with high clinical suspicion of the virus -- even in cases with negative initial DNA tests -- in a study published online February 12 in Radiology.February 12, 2020CTMobile CT improves access to lung cancer screeningA mobile CT unit in North Carolina is bringing lung cancer screening directly to the communities of high-risk individuals faced with geographic and socioeconomic barriers to standard screening programs, improving their access to screening services, according to a study slated for publication in the March issue of the Oncologist.February 11, 2020CT3D micro-CT primed to revamp breast cancer imagingUsing 3D micro-CT to image breast cancer biopsy samples leads to a more precise assessment of cancer margins than the traditional histological approach and could improve the effectiveness of surgical treatment, according to a study published online February 4 in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.February 10, 2020CTCan 3D printing help optimize cardiac CT protocols?Patient-specific 3D-printed coronary models have allowed clinicians to determine ideal cardiac CT protocols for various cardiovascular diseases with greater safety and accuracy than traditional testing methods, according to a review article published online on January 24 in Current Medical Imaging Reviews.February 6, 2020CTCT traces disease progression in novel coronavirusAn ongoing investigation into the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak has characterized the most common CT findings associated with the virus and identified possible markers of disease progression several days after the onset of symptoms. The findings were published online February 6 in Radiology.February 5, 2020CTRadiologists list top 5 CT features for novel coronavirusWhat should radiologists look for in cases suspicious for the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)? Researchers from the U.S. and China discussed the quintessential CT features of the virus that can aid in its early detection and diagnosis in a special report published online February 4 in Radiology.February 4, 2020CTCT, x-ray help delineate 1st coronavirus case in U.S.As the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) continues to spread across the globe, CT and radiography have emerged as integral players in its identification and diagnosis. The imaging modalities are also serving pivotal roles in tracking disease progression for the earliest cases, including the first one confirmed in the U.S.January 30, 2020CTVideo beats brochure to prep smokers for CT screeningA video with information about CT lung cancer screening was more effective than a printed brochure in helping eligible smokers in the U.S. make an informed decision on whether to get screened in a new survey. The results were published online January 31 in JAMA Network Open.January 30, 2020Previous PagePage 4 of 63Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-RayChest x-rays reveal atherosclerosis in patients undergoing amputationsLower limb amputation is an increasingly common major complication of advanced peripheral arterial disease and diabetes mellitus.MRI3D MRI technique helps plan treatment for pediatric heart conditionsWomens ImagingCould AI scoring help with managing DCIS?CTClinicians, beware: CT diagnostic accuracy varies by adnexal lesion typePractice ManagementRadiology coding update for 2026
