Opportunistic CT Screening: Clinical Applications, Technical Foundations, and Best Practices

Listen to this summary

The authors explore the potential of opportunistic CT screening to identify clinically relevant biomarkers from routine CT scans conducted for unrelated reasons, aiming to address the challenges of integrating this practice into clinical workflows. They discuss the advancements in automated image analysis and AI, the importance of these biomarkers in assessing various health risks, and the barriers to widespread adoption, including issues of standardization and the risk of overdiagnosis. Ultimately, the review seeks to guide healthcare professionals in effectively implementing opportunistic CT screening in clinical settings.
