Unique Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this CME activity, you will be better able to:

• Develop a lung cancer screening program
• Incorporate Lung-RADS into reports of LDCT for lung cancer screening
• Comply with CMS guidelines for lung cancer screening
• Improve accuracy of lung cancer detection on CT
• Recommend appropriate management of suspicious findings for lung cancer on chest CT
• Apply the TNM lung cancer staging system (7th edition)
• Compare the forthcoming changes to the TNM lung cancer staging system (8th edition)
• Recognize typical imaging appearances of treated lung cancer

Intended Audience

The activity was planned for radiologists who are interpreting CT scans obtained for lung cancer screening, staging, and treatment follow-up, and who may be actively involved in lung cancer screening clinics, and in multidisciplinary lung cancer programs. This comprehensive review of state of the art lung cancer screening may also be of interest to the clinicians of lung cancer screening clinics and of multidisciplinary lung cancer clinics, including medical oncologists, pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, as well as the physician assistant/nurse navigators for these clinics.
