What this trial studies

This study assesses the effectiveness of low-dose chest CT scans combined with lung-RADS classification for screening lung cancer in individuals who are current or former smokers. It aims to determine the diagnostic performance of this approach in detecting lung cancer early among high-risk populations. Participants will undergo a CT scan to evaluate the presence of lung cancer, with a focus on those aged 50 to 80 who have a significant smoking history.
