Video Summary
The "Check Lung Protocol" is a simple and free software that evaluates comorbid diseases during lung cancer screening. A retrospective examination of 774 low-dose CT scans from patients who underwent screening between 2016 and 2020 found that 671 scans had at least one comorbidity. The most common non-pulmonary conditions identified were coronary artery calcification (41.9%), osteoporosis (44.2%), and hepatic steatosis (40.7%). Emphysema was observed in 66.3% of scans, and interstitial lung disease in 32.2%. The protocol can help diagnose these additional conditions, leading to improved treatment and prevention of high morbid mortality conditions.
