Learning Objectives: 1) To summarize current knowledge concerning utility of low dose helical CT screening to detect early (Stage 1) lung cancer. 2) To outline practical strategy in the workup of CT detected lung abnormalities: low probability and high probability lesions. Effect of geographic location on the percentage presence of benign findings. 3) To disclose early results of screening projects which have accrued patients.
