Course Description

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths for both men and women in the U.S. and worldwide. Early detection through screening and effective management of incidental lung nodules are crucial for improving survival rates. Radiologists and radiology practices play a vital role in lung cancer screening programs, from ensuring high-risk individuals are properly screened to ensuring patients with abnormal results return for follow-up. Additionally, the appropriate management of findings is essential for comprehensive care and improved outcomes.

In this course, Dr. Ella Kazerooni provides a systematic approach to interpreting and reporting lung cancer screening CTs, with practical tools and techniques. 

Dr. Kazerooni also covers the use of LungRADS (including LungRADS Category 4x) and breaks down the categorization of different types of lung nodules.

Read alongside Dr. Kazerooni as she showcases her approach to the identification, characterization, and recommended management of findings like:

  • Solid lung nodules
  • Non-solid lung nodules
  • Cystic nodules
  • Part solid nodules
  • Incidental findings like bone mineral density, lung disease, and cardiovascular conditions
  • …and more! 

Optimize your learning:

  • Test Yourself - Before starting the video, launch the DICOM study and complete your independent review of the case in our diagnostic web viewer.
  • Review at your own pace - Reminder to utilize the video player features to speed up or slow down the video, pause or rewind to best fit your available time and learning needs.
  • Read alongside Dr. Kazerooni - Keep the DICOM study open while you watch Dr. Kazerooni review the cases. We suggest popping the DICOM viewer open in a new window and viewing side by side with the video on your screen.
