Lung Cancer ScreeningFrom Science to Practice

Learning Objectives
1. Describe acquisition parameters for low-dose screening chest CT
2. Recognize nodule characteristics that lead to suspicion of lung cancer or benignity
3. Identify management strategies for indeterminate nodular findings
4. Develop structured reporting for lung cancer screening using ACR Lung-RADS
5. Review best practices for interactions with patients
15 Credits CME

Lung cancer screening education prepares you to implement a comprehensive, multidisciplinary lung cancer screening program that applies a patient-centered approach to shared decision making, complies with best practices and helps meet requirements for ACR CT Chest Accreditation.
