Abstract
Since the introduction of spiral computed tomography (CT) scanning in the 1990s, researchers and physicians have been hopeful that the imaging tool would be helpful in detecting early, localized lung cancers that could be successfully treated. Uncontrolled studies showing that spiral CT can detect small-sized lung cancers have nurtured this hope, but the clinical significance of the findings of these studies remains unclear.Keywords
