Common respiratory infections such as influenza and Covid-19 can awaken dormant breast cancer cells that have spread to the lungs, setting the stage for new metastatic tumors, new research finds.
CT imaging is important to detect residual lung abnormalities after a Covid-19 infection. To avoid confusion with interstitial lung diseases, experts from 14 countries published a best-practice guide.
Should tracheobronchial anastomoses be routinely wrapped following resection and reconstruction? A new study revisits this unresolved question in airway surgery.
A new PET imaging technique can accurately detect and monitor Mycobacteroides abscessus lung infections—one of the most difficult-to-diagnose conditions in patients with lung diseases.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. At the French Thoracic Society Spring Days in May, Dr Aurélie Dehaene, radiologist at European Hospital in Marseille, France, reviewed diagnostic strategies for suspected PE during pregnancy, with a focus on clinical algorithms and optimized imaging protocols.
Despite previous global declines, pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is on the rise again. A new AI-powered lung ultrasound shows promise in improving diagnostic performance of TB.
Transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in the European Region is still ongoing, and immediate public health measures are needed to control and reduce the growing burden of the disease, experts urge.
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.
