Radiologists told to report abdominal lesions and CV findings detected during lung cancer screening

Radiologists will report pleural effusions, abdominal lesions, coronary artery calcifications and reduced bone density under the new lung cancer screening program that starts in 57 days.

The program will screen asymptomatic adults aged 50-70 who currently smoke or have quit smoking in the past 10 years, and who have a 30 pack-year smoking history, every two years.
