Developing a lung nodule management protocol specifically for cardiac CT: Methodology in the DISCHARGE trial

In this methodology paper we describe the development of a lung nodule management algorithm specifically for patients undergoing cardiac CT.We modified the Lung-RADS algorithm specifically to manage lung nodules incidentally detected on cardiac CT (Lung-RADS for cardiac CT). We will evaluate the modified algorithm as part of the DISCHARGE trial (www.dischargetrial.eu) in which patients with suspected coronary artery disease are randomly assigned...
