Dual-energy CT halves contrast dose for PE assessment
By Eric Barnes
Pulmonary embolism (PE) rule-outs can be done with half the normal contrast dose using dual-energy CT -- on a single-source scanner. Researchers from Canada believe their new protocol is robust enough to open up a critical diagnostic test to patients who weren't candidates for CT pulmonary angiography.

CT with ASIR enhances CAD performance for pulmonary nodules
By Erik L. Ridley
Adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) technology can not only reduce CT radiation dose and improve image quality, it can also improve the sensitivity of computer-aided detection (CAD) software for detecting pulmonary nodules, according to researchers from Japan.

CAD may drive chest DR screening for tuberculosis
By Erik L. Ridley
A prototype computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm for tuberculosis (TB) developed by Dutch researchers performed well in a pilot study, offering hope that the software could enable the use of chest digital radiography (DR) to screen for TB in areas with a high burden of the disease but not many skilled readers.

Quantitative lung CT refines COPD diagnosis in smokers
By Eric Barnes
By analyzing CT values in the affected lung regions, quantitative CT is improving the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to enable physicians to tailor treatment to individual patients, according to a study presented at the 2010 RSNA meeting.

DR tomo reduces need for CT to confirm lung cancer
By James Brice
Pairing low-dose digital radiography (DR) tomosynthesis with conventional radiography eliminates the need for three of every four CT scans typically performed to confirm lung lesions previously suspected on chest radiography, according to a study from the University of Trieste in Italy.
