  Coronavirus warning: Thousands could be left with lung damage.

• Royal College of Radiologists

  Dr. Sam Hare, FRCR, and Dr. Aniket Tavare, FRCR, lead NHS Innovation Cancer Challenge winning team.

  Fast and cheap test raises hope against lung cancer. The method allows patients to spend only an hour in an outpatient clinic, rather than a day in a hospital bed. Even if their lung collapsed—a complication of lung biopsies—patients could still be sent home.

• The Daily Mail

  New gadget is being used to treat thousands of Britons with collapsed lungs while they relax at home.
