The partnership will start with Trail and then pay per read. Multiple bids are expected this year, with at least 10,000 and possibly hundreds of thousands of reads, as hospitals participate in lung cancer screening and increase their remote reading rates. Accordingly, the company added that this...
Lung Cancer Screening CT Scans You likely know that smoking can damage your health in many ways. Smoking can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and, of course, lung cancer. Smokers are 15-30 times more likely to develop lung cancer or die from it than nonsmokers and lung cancer is the ...

Low-dose CT lung cancer (LDCT) screening is associated with a 16 percent relative reduction in lung cancer mortality, when compared against a non-LDCT control arm, according to research presented by Professor John Field and the United Kingdom Cancer Scre
The UK Lung Screen (UKLS) is a randomised controlled trial of the use of low-dose multidetector CT for lung cancer screening. It completed the Health Technology Appraisal (HTA)-funded feasibility stage in October 2009 and the pilot UKLS will be initiated in early 2011. The pilot will random...
