Lung ultrasound beats chest x-ray for heart failure detection
By Brian Casey
Point-of-care lung ultrasound has a higher sensitivity than chest x-ray for detecting symptoms of pulmonary edema in patients with acute decompensated heart failure, according to a new meta-analysis. The findings could indicate that ultrasound is a better choice for these patients, according to a study published March 15 in JAMA Network Open.

Risk prediction model boosts accuracy of CT lung screening
By Abraham Kim
Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh developed a statistical model that combined data from CT scans with patient demographic information to predict an individual's risk of lung cancer on CT lung screening exams. The model worked better than several more-established methods, according to an article published online March 12 in Thorax.
