Part II: Automated CT lung nodule assessment advances
By Eric Barnes
Part II of our series on automated CT nodule assessment explores the how and why of lung nodule assessment in a few computer-aided detection (CAD) systems. The results of some recent studies suggest that current CAD algorithms may need more emphasis on the small, irregularly shaped nodules that constitute many primary lung cancers.

Radiologists can misinterpret children's lung nodules at CT
By Eric Barnes
Lung nodule features that are suggestive of malignancy in adults may indicate the opposite in children -- and vice versa -- according to a study in the May issue of Radiology. New methods are needed to separate benign from malignant lung data in children, according to the authors.

PET, PET/CT help determine RFA outcomes in lung cancer treatment
By Jonathan S. Batchelor
The use of FDG-PET or PET/CT to assess the amount of tumor destruction after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides more valuable information than CT alone for the treatment of lung tumors, according to multicenter research presented last week at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia.
