Move could help address worse colorectal cancer outcomes for Black patients.

The deep learning algorithm can distinguish between malignant and benign nodules at initial screening.

Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.

In this patient with progressive anemia, what is your diagnosis on this CT?

A low-dose CT for lung cancer screening can also predict a five-year cardiovascular disease risk of death when using a deep learning algorithm.

Two interventions to increase lung cancer screening rates from the clinical and community perspectives.

Results show screening adherence is low among patients who could benefit most from scans.

The 2016 recommendation has led to a significant increase in the use of the non-invasive exam.

COVID-19 Machine Learning Models Not Ready for Clinical Use; CT Colonography Tops Colorectal Cancer Detection; Radiology's Environmental Impact; Plus, DBT in Academic and Community Settings

Compared with stool-based non-invasive screenings, CT colonography performs best for colorectal cancer screening and detection.

USPSTF lung cancer screening recommendation update; Cancer screenings and COVID-19; and CT and unintentional weight loss.

Revised guidelines support low-dose CT screening for patients between ages 50 and 80 with 20-pack year smoking histories – a move that lowers the screening age and, potentially, incorporates more high-risk individuals.

The impacts of the pandemic have been long-lasting – what has the effect been, and what prompts patients to return.
