CAD shows promise in tumor detection with PET
By Wayne Forrest
WASHINGTON - With computer-aided detection (CAD) already making its mark in other imaging modalities, researchers at the University of Chicago in Illinois have devised a method that shows how the technology may prove beneficial for tumor detection by PET. They presented their findings at this week's SNM meeting.

Molecular imaging, nuclear medicine share spotlight at SNM 2007
By Wayne Forrest
WASHINGTON - It will be virtually impossible to discuss nuclear medicine and exclude molecular imaging from the discussion at this week's SNM meeting. Molecular imaging will help revolutionize patient care, with improved ways to diagnose, treat, and manage cancer and other diseases, and focusing exclusively on nuclear medicine without incorporating other imaging modalities would limit the understanding of how diseases will be diagnosed and treated in the future, according to speakers at Sunday's opening presentation.

Duke researchers combine DR tomosynthesis with 3D CAD
By Brian Casey
The use of radiography to detect lung disease has been eclipsed in recent years by CT, which offers improved spatial resolution and the ability to find smaller tumors at an earlier stage. But a group from Duke University in Durham, NC, hopes to make radiography competitive again with the use of digital x-ray tomosynthesis and a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm.

Marijuana increases lung cancer risk
By Eric Barnes
Despite the biological plausibility of marijuana being carcinogenic, and suggestions that overall lung cancer risk may be associated with pot smoking, epidemiologic findings of marijuana use have been weaker and far less consistent than studies associating tobacco smoking with lung cancer. But a new study from New Zealand finds that pot smokers do indeed face higher lung cancer rates that increase for every year of smoking, and for patients who begin smoking younger.
