New ground glass in a patient with a fibrosing ILD with acute worsening is worrisome
Current Lecture
This is a lecture that I gave early in November. I discussed the role of low-dose CT (LDCT) in lung cancer screening in a TB endemic country.
The lecture starts with a discussion of LDCT and the various trials, followed by a discussion of the new Lung-RADS 2022 and then a few cases to show how we use Lung-RADS for Category 4 lesions.
The last part of the lecture is how the presence of old and active tuberculosis (TB) lesions modulates the use of LDCT for lung cancer screening.
