Challenge yourself with our Chest CT Case Review from Dr. Lucy Modahl!

A common dilemma that radiologists are faced with, whether it’s reading Chest CT in an acute setting, a lung cancer screening setting, or in an outpatient setting, is coming across an unexpected finding: could it be a malignancy, infection, or simply atelectasis? 

Join Dr. Lucy Modahl (NYU Langone Health) as she shares how she thinks about these types of cases and the details she looks for to help her make her diagnosis. Read alongside her as she provides essential interpretation pearls and pitfalls on some of the most challenging cases she has seen, which will help you gain confidence in making these decisions in your own practice.

Listen to her advice on the most helpful CT imaging sequences to use, her interpretation of different types of lung abnormalities, why it’s important to look at the airways to to confirm diagnoses, the importance of using patient history to reinforce findings, and some best practices for Chest CT imaging rationale, indications, optimal imaging protocols, and reporting.
