For a chest scan to be considered ‘low-dose’, it should be 2 millisieverts (mSv) or lower, compared to a ‘standard’ lung CT dose of approximately 8 mSv. Scans are considered ‘ultra-low-dose’ if they are <1 mSv; however, these definitions are the subject of debate.41 More ...

(NLST) demonstrated a reduction in lung cancer mortality of 20% in high-risk populations who underwent three rounds of annual low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) compared with chest radiography (X-ray) [10]. Even higher cancer detection rates were reported after clinical adoption in the United ...
