Lung nodules are present in more than a fifth of Northern European nonsmokers -- a percentage similar to their prevalence in high-risk populations of smokers, researchers have found. The study results suggest that, as the volume of chest CT scans for various clinical indications continues to climb, the presence of incidental nodules could increase the number of follow-up scans and workups among low-risk individuals, wrote a team led by senior author Rozemarijn Vliegenthart, MD, PhD, of the Unive

Researchers have established a suite of parameters that can be determined using ultrasound to quantitatively measure different physical characteristics of the lung. The researchers also demonstrated that the parameters can be used to accurately diagnose and assess the severity of lung diseases in an animal model.

In a recent study of 10,090 body CT scans , reviewed by attending physicians in the abdominal division, no significant difference in error rates was found between day and night studies. The study identified 44 errors in 2,164 day studies and 226 errors in 7,446 night studies. The research highlights that body CT studies often have higher error rates when interpreted by non-specialists due to the complexity of evaluating multiple organs.

Imagine you’re a clinician at a health system, knowing that your database is packed with relevant clinical insights. You know this data can be incredibly helpful in navigating the nuances of each patient case, as there could be pertinent information that influences the treatment path you prescribe. The challenge is that you can’t always access this data or make it actionable, and if you can it’s not likely to be within a relevant clinical timeframe.
