The Era of Chest CT—and Why AI Scan Matters
Chest CT (Computed Tomography) has long played a critical role in the early detection of thoracic diseases such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary fibrosis. However, with the growing global demand for low-dose CT (LDCT) screening, medical professionals—especially radiologists and pulmonologists—are facing increasing challenges.
A Dutch study showed that between 2008 and 2019, the number of annual chest CT exams in just two hospitals more than doubled—from 10,000 to over 20,000. During the same period, the detection rate for pulmonary nodules rose from 38% to 50%.
While this surge has helped improve early cancer detection, it has also significantly increased the workload of diagnostic specialists. Radiologists now face a dual challenge: repetitive, time-intensive nodule analysis and mounting burnout due to case volume and staffing shortages.
Compounding this issue is the fact that most missed early lung cancers occur at the image interpretation stage. Despite strong clinical recommendations, only 18% of high-risk patients in the U.S. actually undergo LDCT screening (American Cancer Society, 2024).
The takeaway? Clinical workflows urgently require technological support to scale screening efforts and enhance diagnostic accuracy. And that’s exactly where AI steps in—not as a supplementary tool, but as a transformative force.

From Concept to Clinical Reality: AI in Chest CT
AI is no longer a theoretical concept. It is now being deployed in hospitals across the globe to assist with high-volume image analysis, reduce interpretation time, and support more accurate clinical decisions.
Coreline Soft’s AVIEW LCS Plus exemplifies this transition from lab to clinic. Designed for real-world workflow integration, the platform delivers:
- Automated prior CT comparisons to detect nodule changes over time
- Lung-RADS auto-classification with risk-based reporting
- Early malignancy prediction modeling for decision support
- High-speed, consistent image processing to handle large volumes without fatigue
