AI algorithm predicts lung disease, adverse events on CT
By Abraham Kim
Recent studies have demonstrated the power of artificial intelligence (AI) software to detect disease, but how well can it predict future adverse events? The extent to which AI can assess smokers' risk for lung disease on CT was reported in a new study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

Study: CT screening would cut lung cancer deaths in China
By Brian Casey
Using a statistical model, Chinese researchers found that CT screening could reduce deaths from lung cancer in China by 24% compared with no screening, mostly by reducing deaths among smokers, according to a paper published July 14 in the Chinese Journal of Cancer.

Radiotherapy boost based on PET not always helpful
By Wayne Forrest
Selectively increasing radiotherapy dose in tumor areas with significant uptake of the PET radiotracer F-18 fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) does not necessarily improve outcomes for non-small cell lung cancer patients, according to a phase II study published in the July issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Subsolid lung nodule assessment with CT evolves
By Eric Barnes
As their experience with subsolid nodules at CT grows, radiologists are learning more about their characteristics and potential risk of malignancy. Overall, the past several years have seen nodule size and growth rise in importance relative to CT density, a less reliable predictor of malignancy.
