Thoracic and Lung Imaging
Thoracic and lung imaging plays a critical role in diagnosing respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and interstitial lung disease. This session explores imaging modalities including chest X-ray, CT, ultrasound, and PET scans. Advances in low-dose CT for lung cancer screening and imaging biomarkers will be discussed. Attendees will learn about the interpretation of thoracic images, challenges like motion artifacts, and the integration of imaging findings into clinical decision-making for respiratory health.
Key Highlights:
- Chest X-ray and CT applications
- Lung cancer screening with low-dose CT
- Imaging of infectious and interstitial diseases
- PET scan role in thoracic oncology
- Challenges and clinical integration
