We introduce a new computer aided detec tion and diagnosis system for lung cancer screening with low-dose CT scans that produces meaningful probability assessments. Our system is based entirely on 3D convo lutional neural networks and achieves state-of-the-art per formance for both lung nodule d...
Radiation During a CT Scan CT scans use X-rays, which are a type of radiation called ionizing radiation. It can damage theDNAin your cells and raise the chance that they'll turn cancerous. These scans expose you to more radiation than other imaging tests, like X-rays and mammograms. Fo...

(CBS/AP) Have doctors gone scan crazy? A new study reveals that soaring numbers of kids are getting CT scans in emergency rooms, raising fears that the radiation exposure could increase their risk for cancer down the road. The number of ER visits nationwide in which children were given CT ...
CT scans in cancer fears New evidence of a "substantial cancer risk" from CT scans is reported in the Lancet Oncology in October. At Columbia University researchers have calculated that the radiation produced from an annual scan, risks a one in fifty chance of death. "The risks of full ...
WASHINGTON (AP)- A special type of CT scan can detect lung cancer early enough to save some lives, the National Cancer Institute announced Thursday -- the first evidence that a screening test may help fight the nation's top cancer killer. ...
CT Scans and Lung Cancer Small or slow-growing nodules (小结节)discovered on a lung scan are unlikely to develop into tumors over the next two years, researchers reported on Wednesday. The findings reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, could help doctors decide when to do more agg...
