Conventional Computed Tomographic Calcium Scoring vs Full Chest CTCS for Lung Cancer Screening: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

2019-12-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Conventional CTCS images the mid/lower chest for coronary artery disease (CAD). Because many CAD patients are also at risk for lung malignancy, CTCS often discovers incidental pulmonary nodules (IPN). CTCS excludes the upper chest, where malignancy is common. Full-chest CTCS (FCT) may be a cost-effective screening tool for IPN. Methods A decision tree was created to compare a...
