摘要: Incidental findings, including pulmonary nodules, on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) are common. Previous authors have suggested CTCA could allow opportunistic screening for lung cancer, though the cancer risk profile of this patient group has not previously been established. Smoking histories 229 patients undergoing at two tertiary hospitals were reviewed and only 25% current or former smokers aged 55-80 years old. Less than half eligible based PLCOm2012 model. We conclude that routine in form full thoracic field imaging, individuals is appropriate as it would likely result net harm.
