P40. Applying digital tomosynthesis (DTS) to diagnose lung cancer and follow up patients

Background Lung cancer has the highest mortality rate among all cancer types regardless of sex. LDCT based screening had proven decrease the mortality of lung cancer. To keep these results but decrease the radiation dose and costs possible new or improved imaging techniques are actively investigating nowadays. In our study on a digital tomosynthesis (DTS) system that was produced in Hungary we tried to prove that DTS is suitable enough for some pulmonological exams. Also we were curious if DTS can replace LDCT in some cases.
