Sorry. Since nobody is recommending to me any scans of my chest, not X-rays, not CT, zero nada zip, these articles caught my attention. The Wall St Journal version did not think much of CTs either even though CT's lowered the death rate by 20% over X rays
[quote]Dr. Berg said the results mean the challenge for researchers is to improve CT scans to reduce the rate of false positives, which can lead to additional tests that are expensive and, in a small number of cases, complications from those tests. In the recently published National Lung Screening Trial, she said, 95% of the abnormalities detected by CT turned out not to be cancer[/quote].
Here is the WSJ version
X-Rays No Help Against Lung Cancer Now if I can just get NCI to similarly expose PETscans
