Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this observational clinical trial is to learn if chest tomosynthesis is a potential alternative to computed tomography for the detection of lung cancer. It will also develop artificial intelligence tools to aid in the diagnosis of lung cancer on chest tomosynthesis images. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the accuracy of chest X-ray tomosynthesis in diagnosing lung cancer in a population of individuals undergoing lung cancer screening or evaluation of a suspicious lung nodule? * Can artificial intelligence help us detect lung cancer on chest tomosynthesis images? Researchers will compare chest tomosynthesis images to computed tomography scans for each participant to see how they compare in diagnosing lung cancer. Participants will a chest tomosynthesis scan in addition to their routine clinical computed tomography scan.

Group I: Chest X-ray Tomosynthesis ParticipantsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants who had a recent, routine clinical chest computed tomography scan for lung cancer screening or evaluation of nodule suspicious for lung cancer will undergo an additional chest X-ray tomosynthesis scan.
