PET volume, glycolytic activity predict NSCLC local recurrence
By Wayne Forrest
By characterizing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors through glycolytic activity and FDG-PET volume after stereotactic body radiation therapy, clinicians may be able to detect which tumors are likely to recur, according to a study presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology meeting.

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.

MBIR takes on ASIR in low-dose chest CT
By Eric Barnes
Thursday, November 29 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSQ03-05 | Room S405ABBoth adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) improve image quality at low doses, but does GE Healthcare's more advanced MBIR algorithm produce noticeably sharper lung images?

Perfusion CT evaluates effectiveness of antiangiogenic drugs in NSCLC
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | VSCH31-14 | Room N230Perfusion CT is more effective than Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) for evaluating the effectiveness of short-term antiangiogenic chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to a group from Calmette Hospital and the University of Lille in France.

Iterative reconstruction won't change diffuse lung disease diagnosis
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG05-06 | Room S405ABThe use of iterative reconstruction brings important benefits, but it may have little effect on quantifying regional disease patterns in diffuse lung disease -- meaning the techniques can be used interchangeably, according to a study from University of Ulsan College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea.

128-detector-row CT permits sharp contrast dose reductions for CTPA
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 26 | 3:10 p.m.-3:20 p.m. | SSE05-02 | Room S404CDCutting the contrast dose by two-thirds doesn't degrade image quality in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) acquired on a 128-detector-row scanner, say researchers from Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve Medical School.
