Lung Cancer Screening With Low-dose CT Scan in Women : Implementation Study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether reading of low-dose thoracic CT scans can be done by a single general radiologist who has been trained to lung cancer screening, and will evaluate the performance in comparison with double reading by experts.
