Artificial CT images can enhance variation of case images in diagnostic radiology skills training

**Objectives** We sought to investigate if artificial medical images can blend with original ones and whether they adhere to the variable anatomical constraints provided. **Methods** Artificial images were generated with a generative model trained …

B3Care - End of Project and Work Package Roundup

Final update meeting for the B3Care project We are thrilled to announce the successful culmination of the B3Care project. After years of dedicated research and collaboration, we are proud to have achieved significant advancements in technology readiness levels for screening the Big-3 diseases: Cardiovascular Disease, Lung Cancer, and COPD. This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the relentless efforts and commitment of our esteemed team of researchers, scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals.

Dutch team shines light on cost-effectiveness of lung screening

A Dutch study has shown combined LDCT screening for lung cancer, COPD and CVD is cost-effective, and may be more so than lung cancer-only screening.

Can we increase efficiency of CT lung cancer screening by combining with CVD and COPD screening? Results of an early economic evaluation.

Objectives Estimating the maximum acceptable cost (MAC) per screened individual for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer (LC) screening, and determining the effect of additionally screening for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), …

B3Care Background

Lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), the so-called Big-3 (B3), are expected to cause most deaths by 2050. Early detection and prevention are crucial to lower the disease burden. Innovative …
