Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind wearable device capable of continuously scanning the lungs and heart of hospital patients while they rest in bed—offering a revolutionary alternative to ...

Abstract: Segmentation of lung nodules in CT images is an important step during the clinical evaluation of patients with lung cancer. Furthermore, early assessment of the cancer is crucial to increase ...

The application of lung ultrasound as an alternative for chest x-ray or CT scan in the definition of ARDS needs further validation. Future definitions of ARDS should be applicable in patients ...

Lung cancer was projected to be the most common radiation-induced cancer, followed by colon cancer. “Our estimates put CT on par with other significant risk factors, such as alcohol consumption and ...

A new analysis estimates that more than 100,000 cancer cases per year could be caused by radiation from CT scans. In some cases, the information provided by a CT scan could also be obtained from ...

The most common projected cancers were lung cancer, colon cancer, leukemia, and bladder cancer. As for the most problematic type of CT scan, the largest number of cancers — 37,500 — were ...

A single chest CT scan delivers approximately 70 times the radiation of a standard chest X-ray. More concerning, some complex CT procedures may expose patients to radiation levels comparable to ...

over 90% of CT scans are performed on adults, so it's this group that faces the largest overall impact. The most common cancers linked to CT exposure are lung, colon, bladder and leukemia.

Computed tomography, or CT scans, could cause 5% of U.S. cancers each year, a new study found. The X-rays expose people to ionizing radiation, which can cause DNA damage. Before getting a CT scan ...

However, the total dose was significantly lower compared with chest CT (~20 mGy for both inspiratory and expiratory images) and ventilation perfusion scan (~60 mGy). The advantages of DCR are as ...
