U.K. group finds high miss rate for lung cancers on chest x-rays
When CT in unavailable, chest x-ray must be relied on for the detection of lung cancer. As a result, a low miss rate is essential. British respiratory specialists conducted a retrospective study at their hospital to determine their miss rate for lung lesions on chest x-ray, as well as how well they did on following up suspicious radiographic findings.

AI-enabled CCTA on par with IVUS for plaque quantification
An AI-powered automated plaque quantification tool for coronary CT angiography (CCTA) performs on par with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for quantifying heart plaque volume and characterizing plaque.
