Discuss Is it time to implement CT lung screening in Asia?
August 19, 2019 -- A computer-based simulation model projected that CT lung screening in several Asian countries could reduce lung cancer deaths by nearly 5% in a new study, recently published online in PLoS One. These populations are likely to benefit greatly from widespread implementation of CT lung screening, researchers say.

Discuss Trump administration hits brakes on law to curb unneeded Medicare CT scans, MRIs
August 19, 2019 -- The U.S. Congress passed a law in 2014 to reduce unnecessary MRI exams, CT scans, and other expensive diagnostic imaging tests, but the Trump administration delayed putting the law into effect until 2020 after physicians argued it would interfere with their practices. Critics worry the delay comes at a cost: Medicare paying for millions of unnecessary exams and patients subject to unnecessary radiation.
