New 'LUNG-RADS' scheme sorts out screening results
By Eric Barnes
Thursday, November 29 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSQ10-08 | Room S403AA new "LUNG-RADS" system for lung cancer screening with CT aims to standardize the reporting of findings, both pulmonary and extrapulmonary, according to researchers from the Lahey Institute in Burlington, MA, who developed the system late last year.

Chest x-ray use remains stable despite growth in advanced imaging
By Brian Casey
Thursday, November 29 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-HPS-TH2A | Lakeside Learning CenterUse of basic chest radiography has remained relatively unchanged over the past decade, despite wide fluctuations in procedure volume for more advanced imaging modalities such as CT and MRI, according to a group from Thomas Jefferson University.

Ultralow-dose CT matches chest radiography radiation dose
By Brian Casey
Thursday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSQ03-06 | Room S405ABRecent advances in iterative reconstruction have put CT radiation doses within range of those found in chest radiography. So is ultralow-dose CT a realistic alternative to x-ray for chest studies? Researchers from Rikshospitalet at the University of Oslo wanted to find out.

Digital tomosynthesis IDs chest lesions, avoids need for CT
By Brian Casey
Wednesday, November 28 | 5:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. | LL-CHS-WE1D | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this poster presentation, Italian researchers will describe how they use digital tomosynthesis to characterize suspicious chest lesions, avoiding the use of CT and sparing patients radiation dose.
