Therefore, early screening and diagnosis of lung cancer are highly important. Currently, the widespread implementation of low-dose spiral chest computed tomography (CT) has increased the detection rate of small pulmonary nodules (SPNs) rising [3]. The high risk SPNs on radiologic imaging required...
Moreover, they stated that although CCTA screening has not yet been demonstrated as improving the outcomes of asymptomatic diabetic patients, it has been shown to be beneficial in predicting future risk, and is promising for screening with an additional technique. Furthermore, an UpToDate review on...
The National Lung Screening Trial showed that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces mortality by 20% compared with chest X-rays [5]. Posterior studies have shown that the early detection of lung nodules can increase the five-year survival rate of lung cancer patients. The five-year ...
Introduction Lung nodules represent a common finding on chest computed tomography (CT), and their incidence is steadily increasing [1–3]. With improvements in temporal and spatial resolution, multidetector CT (MDCT) scanners are now able to detect a larger number of nodules, especially small ...
