The value of supplemental prone imaging in low-dose CT lung cancer screening. A technical note

Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2022 Mar 14;92(4). doi: 10.4081/monaldi.2022.2129.

Abstract

This technical note presents our experience with the additional prone examination of patients during low dose CT lung cancer screening. The prone examination adds only a minor amount of radiation and time to the study and can reduce false positive findings that are gravity-dependent.
