Chest Radiographic Skill to Not Overlook Lung Cancer

Missed lung cancer at chest radiography: prevalence and radiographic lesion characteristics

Incidence, correlates, and chest radiographic yield of new lung cancer diagnosis in 3398 patients with pneumonia.

BACKGROUND One reason chest radiographs are recommended after pneumonia is to exclude underlying lung cancer. Our aims were to determine the incidence and correlates of new lung cancer and the diagnostic yield of new lung cancer by chest radiography in patients with pneumonia. METHODS We conducted a population-based cohort study of patients with chest radiography-confirmed pneumonia, who were...

Chest Radiographic and CT Findings

Purpose : The purpose of our study is to describe the chest radiographic and CT findings of simple pulmonary eosinophilia. Materials and Methods : Twenty-six patients with simple pulmonary eosinophilia und e r went chest radiography and CT scanning; the results were analyzed retrospectively by two chest radiologists, focusing on the patterns and distribution of the parenchymal abnormalities. Re...

Chest X-ray screening does not improve outcome in lung cancer.

Strauss and colleagues (CHEST 1995; 107:270S-79S) continue to "reinterpret" the overwhelmingly negative evidence concerning the utility of chest x-ray screening for lung cancer. Since their previous attempt' they have discovered a second randomized trial which makes their thesis that the negative results are due to chance highly improbable, and they have moved on to the equally implausible idea...
