World TB Day raises awareness about tuberculosis and commemorates the discovery of the source bacterium M. tuberculosis. More than a century later, scientists still refine anti-TB strategies.
Nuclear medicine specialists have successfully used the radiopharmaceutical Ga-68-Trivehexin from Trimt to accurately diagnose patients with pulmonary fibrosis and concurrent lung cancer.
To reduce the radiation exposure for patients undergoing frequent CT scans for pneumonia diagnosis, deep learning-based denoising of ultra-low dose CT presents a viable alternative.
To improve breathing monitoring during radiotherapy, researchers have developed a millimeter-wave sensor capable of non-invasively visualizing respiratory movement during X-ray and CT examinations.
More than half of cancer patients in whom the cancer spreads beyond the primary site have lung metastases. What makes the lungs such a tempting place for cancer cells? New research may have an answer.
After a Covid-19 infection, patients may suffer from a variety of symptoms, including difficulty concentrating (“brain fog”). New research now linked the condition to impaired lung function.
PET/CT image analysis using artificial intelligence (AI) can predict the occurrence of interstitial lung disease, a serious side effect of immunotherapy in lung cancer, a new study shows.
Early detection and management of asthma and COPD is critical. US researchers have developed a deep learning model paired with a wearable sensor patch to automatically detect wheezing sounds.
Individuals with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk of developing asthma – and vice versa, according to an analysis of data on 17 million people.
Certain long-term health conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, can obscure early symptoms of lung cancer, leading to delays in diagnosis, a new study finds.
Cologne researchers have developed an AI-based digital pathology platform to enable extremely fast and accurate fully automated analysis of tissue sections from lung cancer patients.
Using conventional ultrasound, researchers have developed a model that determines whether conditions such as fibrosis or edema are present in the lungs, and gives information about the severity.
Researchers have created a mucus-based bioink which can be used for 3D printing lung tissue. This advance could one day help study and treat chronic lung conditions.
A new radiotracer enables positron emission tomography (PET) scans to be used for the first time to accurately pinpoint when and where tuberculosis (TB) is still active in a patient’s lungs.
Diagnosing lung conditions such as pulmonary embolism is more challengenging when a patient cannot tolerate contrast agents. Now, a new software solution is addressing the issue.
When people quit smoking, they often put on the pounds instead – but why is that? New research on dietary habits of smokers and non-smokers may provide us with an answer.
New research into a life-threatening, but underestimated complication in lung transplants not only provides new insights, but also approaches for early detection and timely treatment.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare inherited multi-organ condition, which can lead to inflammation of the airways and infections. Now, scientists have found what causes PCD.
Researchers present a new method for generating human alveolar epithelial type I cells. This could ultimately progress therapies for people living with pulmonary diseases.
