September 7, 2011 — For monitoring lung nodules with computed tomography (CT), radiation dose can be reduced to approximately 3% of the current standard dose without compromising efficacy, according ...

Temple Lung Center says artificial intelligence software makes the already good imaging of chest CT scans even better.

New guidelines for CT-guided biopsies of lung nodules significantly reduce radiation exposure allowing individuals the benefit of the procedure, which may cut down on overall lung cancer deaths. This ...

A new article summarizes methods for radiation dose optimization in chest computed tomography (CT) scans. Chest CT is the third most commonly performed CT examination, frequently used to diagnose the ...
