ACS: States with higher lung cancer burden show low screening rates
By Kate Madden Yee
The prevalence of up-to-date lung cancer screening with low-dose CT remains low -- especially in U.S. states that tend to have higher mortality rates of the disease.

ARRS: Noncontrast fluoroscopy method can image chronic hypertension
By Amerigo Allegretto
A fluoroscopy method incorporating a noncontrast x-ray pulsatility index can be a screening or diagnostic test for suspected chronic hypertension.

Dice similarity index measurements compare the x-ray pulsatility index (XPI) to digital subtraction angiography in patients with suspected chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. XPI is green, pulmonary angiography is pink and the overlap between the two is white. Image courtesy of the ARRS.
ISMRM: Is low-field MRI coming of age for lung imaging?
By Philip Ward
Low-field MRI can now detect many pathologies in the lungs, but radiologists must get better at interpreting pulmonary 0.55-tesla MRI scans.
