CT Scan Screen for Lung Cancer Can ID Smoking-Related Diseases
New diagnoses of CVD, emphysema, osteoporosis identified, often are linked to adverse events.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Extended Follow-Up Supports Low-Dose CT for Lung Cancer Screening
The use of LDCT screening was found to be impactful on lung cancer mortality rates.
AI Model Uses Serial Imaging to Predict Lung Cancer Tx Response
Deep learning integrates CT scans from multiple time points to improve clinical outcome predictions.
CHEST Panel Updates Criteria for Low-Dose CT Screening for Lung Cancer
The panel assembled and updated the above guidelines and recommendations regarding lung cancer screening and low-dose CT screening programs.
Undergoing CT Lung Cancer Screening May Motivate Quit Attempts in Persons at High Risk
Contrary to some concerns, persons at high risk for lung cancer who undergo CT lung scans are more likely to attempt smoking cessation regardless of their test results compared with unscreened persons.
Prostate-specific PET and CT Imaging Improves Detection of Disease and Patient Care
Prostate-specific molecular imaging, such as PET and CT, can detect more cancer and improve patient care.
Annual Follow-up With Low-Dose CT Is Sufficient for Some Lung Nodules
For nonsolid nodules identified by CT screening for lung cancer, annual screening with low-dose CT can eliminate the need for biopsy or surgery.
Referrals for Lung Cancer CT Imaging Screening Remain Low Among Family Physicians
Most family physicians report discussing low-dose CT imaging with patients at high risk for lung cancer, but referrals for screening remain low, a study published in the journal Cancer has shown.
CT Colonography and FIT Yield Different Participation and Detection Rates
CT colonography with reduced preparation had increased participation compared with full cathartic preparation CT colonography, and detection rates were approximately 3 times higher for CT colonography compared with FIT.
