Lung cancer screening trials: Current evidence and remaining questions
Speaker: Cornelia Schaefer-Prokop, Amersfoort/NL | Moderator: Anagha P. Parkar, Bergen/NO

General description, scope and objectives of this webinar
The programme of this webinar will cover a summary of results of lung cancer screening studies. It is aimed at thoracic/chest radiologists, radiologist residents/juniors, students and people who are interested in the ESTI LCS certification project who want to improve their knowledge
– about the essential parts that influence a lung cancer program
– about the results of randomized and non-randomized trials thus far

After listening to the webinar, participants will:
– Compare the set ups of the various studies and their impact on results
– Appreciate new insights that have been gained after the publication of the two randomized trials, the NLST and the Nelson trial
– Judge which aspects are subjects of ongoing research in an attempt to further improve lung cancer screening

Monday, October 28, 18:00 CEST
Technical requirements for LCS: How to perform the acquisition, how to read the scans and the role of AI
Speaker: Constance De Margerie-Mellon, Paris/FR | Moderator: Thomas Frauenfelder, Zurich/CH

General description, scope and objectives of this webinar
This webinar will cover CT technical requirements and standardized reading criteria for LCS and will also underline the role of AI in chest CTs performed for LCS. 
Meeting the technical requirements when performing chest CTs in the framework of LCS is important, to ensure a satisfying image quality while respecting the recommended radiation dose thresholds. Using appropriate and consistent reading criteria is also critical. As most detected nodules during screening are benign, such criteria allow adequate active management in case of suspicious nodule and imaging follow-up in indeterminate cases, while avoiding overdiagnosis. Finally, AI applications in LCS are booming and the number of AI-based commercial softwares is constantly growing. Strengths and weaknesses of AI for LCS will be discussed.
It is aimed at thoracic/chest radiologists, radiologist residents/juniors, students and people who are interested in the ESTI LCS certification project who want to improve their skills in:
– Building a CT protocol for performing LCS at the recommended radiation dose level
– Knowing about existing reading criteria for prevalent and incident lung nodules discovered on screening CTs
–  Reviewing the potential role of AI for lung nodule detection, lung nodule classification, and for detection of associated comorbidities

After listening to the webinar, participants will:
– Understand the importance of morphology in distinguishing benign and malignant nodules
– Recognised typical features of intrapulmonary lymph nodes
– Appreciate the morphological appearances of atypical lung cancers

Monday, November 11, 18:00 CET
Solid nodule morphological evaluation: How to recognize obviously benign/malignant nodules, how to recognize intrapulmonary lymph nodes, pitfalls
Speaker: Anand Devaraj, London/UK | Moderator: Ieneke Hartmann, Rotterdam/NL

General description, scope and objectives of this webinar
The programme of this webinar will emphasise the importance of morphological assessment in lung nodule management. It is aimed at thoracic/chest radiologists, radiologist residents/juniors, students and people who are interested in the EST LCS certification project who want to improve their skills in:
– Management of incidental and screen detected nodules

After listening to the webinar, participants will:
– Understand the importance of morphology in distinguishing benign and malignant nodules
– Recognised typical features of intrapulmonary lymph nodes
– Appreciate the morphological appearances of atypical lung cancers

Monday, December 09, 18:00 CET
Solid nodule measurement and follow-up, criteria of positive screens
Speaker: Mario Silva, Parma/IT | Moderator: Helmut Prosch, Vienna/AT

General description, scope and objectives of this webinar
The programme of this webinar will cover the management of screen detected solid pulmonary nodules. It is aimed at thoracic/chest radiologists, radiologist residents/juniors, students and people who are interested in the ESTI LCS certification project who want to improve their skills in:
– the risk prediction of solid pulmonary nodules
– the management of solid pulmonary nodules in lung cancer screening

After listening to the webinar, participants will:
– know how to classify solid pulmonary nodules
– understand the importance of a volumetric assessment of pulmonary nodules
– understand the rationale behind follow-up examinations
