Image-guided radiofrequency ablation of lung neoplasm in 100 consecutive patients by a thoracic surgical service.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is the standard of care for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer or selected patients with pulmonary metastases. However, for high-risk patients radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may offer an alternative ... Read more...

Potential clinical and economic consequences of noncardiac incidental findings on cardiac computed tomography.

11 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the incidence, clinical significance, and potential financial impact of noncardiac incidental findings (IF) identified with cardiac computed tomography (CT). BACKGROUND: Cardiac CT is gaining acceptance and may ... Read more...

Tumor response in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: perfusion CT evaluation of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objectives of this study were to prospectively evaluate changes in tumor perfusion after chemoradiation therapy and to investigate the feasibility of perfusion CT for prediction of early tumor response and prognosis of non-small cell ... Read more...
