Figure 2 Two false-negatives arising from the diagnostic protocol. A–D, LD-CT images of a centrally located lesion of the right lower lobe taken every 3 months. CT-PET after the second LD-CT was negative (SUV < 2). The lesion was diagnosed as cancer from the fourth LD-CT scan. A and B, A 7-mm lesion of the right upper lobe that remained stable in maximum diameter at 3 months follow-up LD-CT after baseline scan. Nine months after follow-up, the screening scan shows a small increase in diameter, indicating cancer. At surgery, the lesion was T2N1 squamous cell carcinoma.

Figure 3 Distribution of the volume doubling time of 24 lung cancers diagnosed as malignant after first annual screening but detected at baseline. The extreme value of 7900 days represents a patient with a tumor stable in size that showed increased density.

Figure 4 Examples of false-positives. In both cases, a centrally located nodule had increased in size and volume compared with baseline (a) on repeat scan (b); both were benign at surgical biopsy. A, The lesion had a doubling time of 162 days and negative PET scan. Lobectomy was necessary for removal. Histology showed chronic inflammation. B, The lesion was removed via a small lateral thoracotomy, and pathologic examination documented a scissural lymph node.
