The new lung cancer screening program needs to be independently evaluated to keep it on track, and to minimise the harms.

Trained on multi-hospital data, iSeg spots moving tumors doctors sometimes miss, edging radiation treatment toward pinpoint ...

A new PET imaging technique can accurately detect and monitor Mycobacteroides abscessus lung infections—one of the most ...

Lung cancer becomes one of the diseases with a high mortality rate. The identification of lung nodules as a representation of lung cancer becomes a very important part. One method of identifying lung ...

BACKGROUND Low attenuation areas (LAA) on computed tomographic (CT) scans have been shown to represent emphysematous changes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the ...

CT angiography sensitivity ranged from 75.5–87.3%, while specificity held near 90% across scales. Sensitivity refers to how well a test finds its target, in this case, brain death.

Accurate and fast extraction of lung volumes from computed tomography (CT) scans remains in a great demand in the clinical environment because the available methods fail to provide a generic solution ...

Background: In the screening of pulmonary subsolid nodules (SSNs), it is crucial to compare the quantitative parameters under consistent computed tomography (CT) acquisition conditions, including the ...

CT screening also was more cost-effective than stool testing FRIDAY, June 13, 2025 (HealthDay News) — CT scans might be able to prevent more colon cancers than stool DNA tests, a new study says.

This extended scan takes only a few minutes longer and didn’t delay any urgent care. What they found was remarkable: this enhanced CT scan detected six times more heart clots than the standard ...

Key Takeaways Colon CT scans might be able to prevent more colon cancers than stool DNA testing Two CT screening approaches outperformed stool DNA testing in computer models CT screening also was more ...
