Validation of Low Dose CT for Diagnosis of Lung Nodules

August 12, 2022 updated by: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati

Validation of an Extremely Low Dose Computed Tomography Protocol for Diagnosing Lung Nodules in Children and Young Adults

The investigators have developed an extremely low dose computed tomography (CT) protocol that on preliminary testing has an effective dose in the range of two chest radiographs. The investigators plan to test this exam in patients with known or suspected cancer undergoing clinically indicated chest CT.
