SBRT improves control in inoperable lung cancer patients
By Cynthia E. Keen
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is effective in controlling the primary tumor of nearly 100% of patients with medically inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are still alive three years after treatment, according to early findings of a clinical trial published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

CT explores size, growth of ground-glass nodules
By Eric Barnes
Two studies recently published online in Radiology yield important new information about CT-detected part-solid lung nodules. Mass measurements of ground-glass nodules are the most accurate, say Dutch researchers, but a Korean group found that most part-solid nodules disappear over time -- and do so in predictable ways.

Imaging shows that even mild COPD reduces cardiac efficiency
By Eric Barnes
Even mild cases of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have serious effects on the heart and blood circulation, according to a study to be published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine. The analysis found that the same problems long associated with severe disease are also present in milder cases.
