Routine chest X-rays do not prevent lung cancer deaths, not even in smokers or former smokers, according to a big government study challenging a once common type of screening. In the study of more ...

Records of more than 170,000 lung cancer patients combined with chest x-ray rates from 7,400 GP practices were analysed in the new research led by the University of Sheffield The study, published in ...

A groundbreaking study has revealed a significant link between the frequency of chest x-ray referrals from GPs and earlier diagnosis and improved survival rates for lung cancer patients. Research from ...

New research from CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, has identified methods for improving artificial intelligence (AI) diagnosis of heart and lung conditions using X-ray. In a paper recently ...

Chest X-rays have become a common practice these days, whether it is for routine check-ups or for the medical examination of a new job. But are these screenings actually healthy or do they carry ...

This section describes the evidence gaps, why they need to be addressed and their relative importance for future committee decision making. The committee will not be able to make a positive ...

An artificial intelligence (AI) tool can accurately identify normal and abnormal chest X-rays in a clinical setting, according to a study published in Radiology. Chest X-rays are used to diagnose a ...

Scientists in Japan have developed an AI deep-learning model that can determine a person's age by studying X-rays of their chest. The breakthrough could be pivotal in helping to intervene if there are ...

A digital diagnostic tool that uses artificial intelligence and cloud computing to accurately read vast numbers of chest X-rays – faster than a radiologist can – is helping doctors identify, triage ...

X-rays can help doctors identify TB infections. They look for specific characteristics in these images to make a diagnosis. TB is an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs, although it ...

At similar radiation doses, ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) achieved superior image quality using AI-enhanced iterative reconstruction than chest x-rays for assessing cystic fibrosis-related lung disease in ...
