Key result
Opportunistic ultra-low-dose CT during coronary scans enables early lung cancer detection with modest radiation.
Why the study?
Does opportunistic lung cancer screening using ultra-low-dose CT improve early lung cancer detection in patients undergoing coronary assessments?
Does opportunistic lung cancer screening using ultra-low-dose CT improve early lung cancer detection in patients undergoing coronary assessments?
Opportunistic lung cancer screening during cardiac CT can identify undiagnosed lung cancer cases early with minimal extra radiation.
Opportunistic lung cancer screening using ultra-low-dose CT during coronary assessments enabled early lung cancer detection with modest additional radiation exposure, identifying otherwise undiagnosed cases within the cardiac field of view.
