Assessing the Impact of Incidental Findings in a Lung Cancer Screening Study by Using Low-dose Computed Tomography

IFs on lung cancer screening studies are not uncommon and frequently require imaging or other follow-up for definitive diagnoses and to assess their clinical relevance. The implication of IFs has to be considered when determining a cost-effective and ethical protocol for the utilisation of LDCT in a high-risk population.
