Since the publication of the National Lung Screening Trial results, there has been increasing interest among radiologists to establish computed tomography (CT) screening centers. During the past 10 years, we have operated a CT screening center in suburban Boston, MA. The purpose of this paper is to describe our process for performing self-referred CT lung screening exams, including our organizational structure, marketing, patient selection process, and standardized workflow. Direct communication between the patient and radiologist, both before and after the CT scan, in our opinion, is critical to a successful screening program. In many ways, CT screening offers radiologists a wonderful opportunity to interact directly with patients. Showing abnormal lung findings to patients on their CT scans may help create a unique "teachable" moment for current smokers and may help motivate patients to quit smoking.
自《全国肺癌筛查试验结果》发表以来，放射科医生越来越有兴趣建立计算机断层扫描（CT）筛查中心。在过去的 10 年中，我们在马萨诸塞州波士顿郊区运营着一个 CT 筛查中心。本文旨在描述我们进行自我推荐的 CT 肺部筛查检查的流程，包括我们的组织结构、营销、患者选择流程和标准化工作流程。我们认为，患者和放射科医生在 CT 扫描前后的直接沟通对于成功的筛查计划至关重要。在许多方面，CT 筛查为放射科医生提供了与患者直接互动的绝佳机会。向在 CT 扫描中发现异常肺部的患者展示肺部结果，可能有助于为当前吸烟者创造一个独特的“可教”时刻，并可能有助于激励患者戒烟。
