In France, there is no national screening program against lung cancer. Thus, in this perspective, the Foch Hospital decided to implement a pilot and clinical low-dose CT screening program to evaluate the efficiency of such screening. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalent ...
Eleven of 17 lung cancers at baseline were treated surgically, eight of these by video assisted thoracic surgery resection. Conclusions: Screening may facilitate minimal invasive treatment and can be performed with a relatively low rate of false-positive screen results compared with previous studies on...
Screening for lung cancer is hoped to reduce mortality from this common tumour, which is characterised by a dismal overall survival, relatively well defined risk groups (mainly heavy cigarette smokers and workers exposed to asbestos) and a lack of early symptoms. In the past studies using sputum...
PANDA’s ability can be coupled with established clinical indications such as chest CT for lung cancer screening. We validated the feasibility of pancreatic lesion detection using PANDA on chest CT (Fig. 4). From SIPD we collected non-contrast chest CT scans of 492 patients, consisting of 63...

In the newly released Lung-RADS 2022 classification system for computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening, the American College of Radiology (ACR) has noted a variety of updates including new classification criteria for atypical pulmonary cysts and airway nodules, time intervals for nodule grow...
This involved a low-dose CT scan without contrast to correct for attenuation. Additional PET/CT images in prone position were acquired for the assessment of uptake in the primary tumor. Increased FDG uptake, exclusively seen on FDG-PET/CT and not corresponding to physiological uptake patterns or...
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and risk factors of coronary artery calcification (CAC) on lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). MethodsA total of 4 989 asymptomatic subjects (2 542 males and 2 447 females) who underwent LDCT lung cancer screening were recruited at...
podcasts, and the latest news about industry product developments, trial results, screening guidelines, and protocol guidance that touch on the use of CT across the healthcare continuum, from various cancer screenings, such as lung and colon, to cardiothoracic imaging, to appendicitis, and more. ...
lung cancer screening is widely applied enabling early diagnosis leading to a better prognosis. We used a non-contrast CT for our study, although there were imaging acquisition-related differences between the two cohorts. The manufacturer and image acquisition parameters were not strictly controlled. ...
