JACR: Despite fears, secondary cancer risk from CT remains low
healthimaging.com — “Despite the fact that radiation doses have been increasing along with a growing reliance on CT scans for diagnosis and therapy, the secondary cancer risk from multi-detector CT (MDCT) scans is low among older adults, the group subjected to the most frequent scanning, according to a study published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.” View full resource at healthimaging.com

Oncimmune® (USA) LLC Experiences Increased Interest in EarlyCDT®-Lung as Doctors Place New Emphasis on Lung Cancer Screening with CT, in Response to Landmark NLST Study - Yahoo! News
news.yahoo.com — “From Yahoo! News: Research released by the National Lung Cancer Screening Trials (NLST) found that early detection, enabled by low-dose CT scans, resulted in a 20% reduction in lung cancer mortality in a high risk patient population. Doctors and researchers at Oncimmune® are already reporting that these NLST findings, announced earlier this year, are having a noticeable impact on the way physicianses diagnose and monitor lung cancer.DeSoto, Kan. ...” View full resource at news.yahoo.com

Weighing CT risks in lung cancer fight - Times Union
timesunion.com — “A major national study confirmed that CT scans detect lung cancer much earlier than standard chest X-rays, but don't go running out to get a scan. Awareness of radiation-related cancer has been a constant news headline as public health officials have warned Americans to limit their exposure to radiation -- especially the powerful doses from CT scans. Half the study volunteers received chest X-rays and the other half underwent low-dose CT scans. During the study, 442 people in the X-ray group die” View full resource at timesunion.com
