Understanding Lung-RADS 1.0: A Case-Based Review

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States (US). The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated that low-dose CT (LDCT) screening reduces lung cancer mortality by 20% compared to screening with chest radiography.Currently, many institutions in the US are implementing lung cancer screening programs.
