Although the study is a welcome foray into lung cancer screening, it doesn't establish CT scanning as an effective test, says pulmonologist Michael Unger of the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. Rather, more recent high-resolution CT scanning results suggest that our estimates of pleural abnormalities in this population may be conservative and may actually underestimate the true prevalence of these abnormalities seen on chest radiographs. The Center offers the most sophisticated imaging available, with on-site X-ray, mammography and full-body CT scanning. |
