A research team from Lille University Hospital in France has recently demonstrated that dual-energy computed tomography lung perfusion can provide valuable additional information for standard CT scans ...

MDCT pulmonary angiography is replacing the ventilation-perfusion lung scan to diagnose suspected pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients, say researchers from Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.

If you meet the criteria for lung cancer screening — meaning you are or have a history of being a heavy smoker, and are between 50 and 80 years old — experts recommend an annual low-dose computerized ...

To detect in-stent restenosis among patients with coronary stents, a new study shows the potential for improved diagnostic accuracy by adding computed tomography perfusion imaging to coronary CT ...

A CT scan of healthy lungs looks typical in size with no inflammation, allowing the diaphragm to dome. Lungs with emphysema can look overinflated, with muscle loss, making the diaphragm misshapen. The ...

Lung cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Screening with low dose computed tomography (called low dose CT or LDCT) can save lives for people at high risk for this ...
