Doctors who order fewer CTPA scans detect more PE
By Abraham Kim
Turns out that less really is more. Canadian researchers are reporting that doctors who order fewer CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) scans for pulmonary embolism (PE) actually have a higher rate of successfully detecting the condition, according to a letter published online January 8 in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Cancer deaths continue to fall, but CT lung screening lags
By Brian Casey
In its annual report on cancer, the American Cancer Society reported that cancer mortality in the U.S. declined by 26% over the past 20 years. But gains in lung cancer survival are being slowed because so few individuals who are eligible for CT lung cancer screening actually undergo the scans.

Risk-based lung cancer screening tops USPSTF guidelines
By Abraham Kim
Using individual risk-based criteria to determine eligibility for CT lung cancer screening may avert more deaths from cancer than using current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines, according to research published online January 1 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

CAD of chest tomosynthesis works best for new readers
By Brian Casey
Computer-aided detection (CAD) of digital chest tomosynthesis studies helped improve the diagnostic performance of inexperienced readers in a study by Japanese researchers published December 13 in Radiology. But CAD's effect was not statistically significant with physicians who had more experience.

How often are lung nodules missed on CAC scoring scans?
By Abraham Kim
If an incidental lung nodule is present on a CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring scan, how often is that nodule actually detected and worked up? Not as often as one might expect, according to researchers who analyzed the reasons why nodules might be missed in a presentation at RSNA 2017.
