Screening for disease, including cancer, can cause harm —during screening, diagnosis and treatment. With lung cancer ...

The new lung cancer screening program needs to be independently evaluated to keep it on track, and to minimise the harms.

Computed tomography (CT): CT scans are usually done if the tumor is larger or if there is concern about cancer spread. For more information, see CT Scan for Cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): ...

In multivariate regression analysis, only gender (p < 0.001) and FEV 1 /FVC ratio (p < 0.001) predicted total LAA%. Conclusions: At all stages of COPD severity, men have more CT emphysema than women.

Other investigators [25, 26, 27] have found that CT phenotypes correlate with clinical characteristics, pulmonary inflammation, and outcomes in patients with COPD.

The monsoon brings dampness, which can turn your home into a hidden source of mould, a real threat to your lungs. Pulmonary ...

A CT scan of the abdomen (belly) and pelvis exposes a person to about 10 mSv. A PET/CT exposes you to about 25 mSv of radiation. This is equal to about 8 years of average background radiation exposure ...

Quantitative CT textures may provide imaging evidence of the spatial heterogeneity of lung inflammation and disease burden in COPD.

This was among the findings of a study published in Chest. Researchers for the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study conducted a community-based, case-control analysis to determine ...

CT screening also was more cost-effective than stool testing FRIDAY, June 13, 2025 (HealthDay News) — CT scans might be able to prevent more colon cancers than stool DNA tests, a new study says.

Both CT scan strategies were also more cost-effective than stool DNA testing, researchers said. However, the five-year CT strategy was not as cost-effective as the three-year strategy, the study says.
