The recommendations concern annual check-ups for certain patients the use of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans. It discusses an article by USPSTF chair Virginia Moyer published in an issue of the periodical "Annals of Internal Medicine" wherein she talked about patient exceptions, preferred...
First, we wanted to show how to use low-dose CT in patients with suspected renal colic in current clinical practice. Second, we wished to discuss the different ways of reducing CT radiation dose by considering both behavioral and technological factors. Among the behavioral factors, limiting the ...
Only then general recommendations to screen individuals at risk of lung cancer with low-dose CT should be made. It can be hoped that international cooperation will succeed in providing results as early as possible. 展开 关键词:Cancer screening Computed tomography Radiation exposure Lung neoplasms CT...
In fact, a substantial number of lesions and pseudolesions are missed with low-dose CT. I think we are reaching the limits of dose-reduction capability. The study is part of an ongoing prospective trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health that compares ultra-low-dose CT with standa...
Low-dose CT in combination with appropriate diagnostic algorithms has been shown to detect many asymptomatic, small, early stage, resectable NSCLC with a low proportion of invasive procedures for benign lesions. Because of the huge implications of general screening recommendations definite proof of the...
Conclusion There is moderate inter- and intraobserver agreement for nodule classification by using current recommendations for low-radiation-dose CT examinations of the chest. Discrepancies in nodule categorization were mainly caused by disagreement on the size and presence of a solid component, which ...

To this end, we established an anthropomorphic chest phantom CT dataset, resembling clinical daily practice. The exhaustive dataset allows to methodically investigate the impact of CT acquisition dose, reconstruction algorithm and reconstruction kernel on two metrics. These two metrics are semi-automatic ...
This clinical course was observed for 22 days at both centers included in this study according to previously published recommendations [34]. Using the FMR measured in the initial LDCT examination - derived from the ratio of total cross-sectional circumference to muscle area - it was possible to ...
