RSNA: Lung Cancer Screening Predicts Risk of Death from Heart Disease Share Article A deep learning algorithm accurately predicts the risk of death from cardiovascular disease using information from low-dose CT exams performed for lung cancer screening, according to a study published in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging. Lung screening studies show that heavy smokers die from cardiovascular disease as much as from lung cancer. The work offers a direction for future research to precisely pinpoint which calcifications are dangerous. OAK BROOK, Ill. (PRWEB) ...
