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...
Unlike in breast cancer and other tumor types such as colon cancer, there is no well-defined screening program for prostate cancer apart from the somewhat controversial use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) as a potential screening tool [14–16]. Also, unlike the major advances seen with ...
Einstein and colleagues (2007) ascertained the lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of cancer incidence associated with radiation exposure from a 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) study and evaluated the influence of age, sex, and scan protocol on cancer risk. Organ doses from 6...
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 ...
Sci. 2019, 9, 3428 2 of 14 the American College of Radiology Lung CT Screening Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS) guidelines recommend a different follow-up protocol based on the overall size of the nodule and the size of the intralesional solid component [12,13]. In clinical practice...

One such tool is icolung (icometrix), which performs an AI-based chest CT analysis for the detection and prognosis of COVID-19 infection from chest CT scans. The software quan- tifies clinically relevant parameters from a non-contrast CT scan, which are summarized in a structured report, ...
