EDDA Technology
By Brian Casey
(Booth 6534) CAD is beginning to shed its reliance on standalone workstations and is moving toward a more network-focused model. In its RSNA booth, EDDA Technology of Princeton Junction, NJ, will demonstrate its tracking of this trend by introducing CAD technology designed to be accessed via PACS workstations throughout a healthcare enterprise.

ASTRO studies assess CT's reliability pre- and postradiotherapy in breast, brain, lung
By Shalmali Pal
LOS ANGELES - As radiation oncologists continue to push the envelope with dose escalation, imaging guidance becomes an indispensable tool for treatment planning, assessing response relationships, and, ultimately, reducing morbidity. To that end, three presentations at this week's American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) meeting looked at the role CT plays in targeting and planning.

BAC prominent in ground-glass opacities
By Eric Barnes
Histopathology data are uncommon in CT lung imaging studies, owing to the risks, costs, and high threshold of suspicion required to sample imaging findings. But a new study from researchers in South Korea got the goods on 53 ground-glass opacities (GGOs) in 49 patients who underwent resection or biopsy. The results yielded a majority of bronchoalveolar cell carcinomas, combined with other less common findings, according to the authors.

CAD may improve sensitivity of MDCT screening exams
By Erik L. Ridley
Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology can improve radiologists' sensitivity for detecting solid lung nodules 4 mm or larger during multidetector CT chest screening studies, according to research published in the October issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Study reveals radiologists' odd interactions with lung CAD
By Eric Barnes
It's a good thing that using computer-aided detection (CAD) to find lung nodules at CT has turned out to be worth the effort. Because how radiologists interact with the systems can be mysteriously counterintuitive. New research at California's Stanford University aims to optimize the value of CAD by better understanding radiologists' reactions to it.

Radiologists no match for nodule measurement software
By Eric Barnes
Measuring solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) isn't a job that can be avoided. Nodule size matters in so many ways. But radiologists may not want to spend their time measuring lung nodules manually because computer algorithms can do it faster and far more accurately, according to researchers in Germany.

Ground-glass lung nodules need extra scrutiny
By Eric Barnes
Ground-glass opacities (GGOs) are different from solid nodules found at thoracic CT, and they need more frequent follow-up. Dr. Ella Kazerooni of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor recently reviewed the why and how of GGOs, a troublesome result of CT screening that radiologists are encountering more frequently as more smokers and former smokers are screened.

FDA clears Deep Breeze lung imaging unit
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Israeli imaging startup Deep Breeze announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted 510(k) clearance for the company's VRIXP system, a noninvasive, radiation-free pulmonary imaging system that uses sounds to create dynamic images of the lungs.
