CAD results vary by lung nodule location, morphology; another method measures solid component of GGOs
By Eric Barnes
In two recent studies that looked at automated computer-aided detection (CAD) software, researchers from the Netherlands examined the accuracy and reproducibility of automated nodule volume measurements in LungCare software. A third study by U.S. researchers sought to automatically measure the solid component of ground-glass nodules containing both solid and nonsolid components.

CT screening for lung cancer: Implications on social responsibility
Radiology is positioned to play a key role in the exciting endeavor of CT screening for lung cancer. Radiologists should be optimistic about the possible social benefits that this new technology promises, but should cautiously move forward and continually evaluate the associated risks, then properly relay these findings to patients so they can make educated decisions.

Cardiac MR measures predict pulmonary hypertension
By Eric Barnes
Cardiac MRI is opening a new diagnostic window on pulmonary hypertension (PH), according to a pair of studies from Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. The first study focused on detecting PH by measuring the ventricular septal-to-free-wall curvature ratio. The second used phase-contrast MRI to determine that average blood velocity is strongly correlated to pulmonary pressure and resistance.
