Lung cancer screening with CT Several feasibility studies of low-dose CT in heavy smokers have been performed. In summary, using similar diagnostic algorithms, they all demonstrated that non-invasive classification of detected nodules based on density, size and detection of growth is possible resulting...

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...
1 As a direct result, in 2014, the USPSTF produced grade B guidance recommending annual screening for lung cancer with LDCT in adults aged 55-80 years who have a 30- pack-year history of cigarette smoking, and who currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years,7 criteria in line...
Lung cancer screeningMuscle‒spleen ratioIntramuscular adiposity, which can be reflected by muscle computed tomography (CT) attenuation, may be a marker of sarcopenia. This study aimed to investigate muscle attenuation across the life course and thresholds of muscle attenuation for evaluating low ...

Opportunistic Osteoporosis Screening with Cardiac CT: Can We Predict Future Fractures? O is a prevalent disease that is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and skeletal fragility, resulting in an increased risk of fractures. Osteoporotic fractures are a major public health threat to ...
As such, DLIR potentially allows to lower the radiation dose to participants of lung cancer screening without compromising accurate measurement and characterization of lung nodules.Introduction According to the 2020 Global Cancer Statistics, lung cancer remains the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and...
