Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Background:

Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is crucial for early detection in high-risk individuals.
Patient education and proactive recruitment are vital for maximizing screening uptake.
Identifying and overcoming barriers to LDCT screening is essential for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the effectiveness of a proactive patient education and recruitment program for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening.
To determine the impact of a nurse navigator-led intervention on identifying and engaging eligible patients for LDCT screening.

Main Methods:

A retrospective and prospective cohort study was conducted involving patients aged 55-80 years from a family medicine group.
Patients were categorized by smoking status, and screening eligibility for LDCT was determined.
A nurse navigator proactively contacted eligible patients to discuss screening, with referrals made to primary care physicians.

Main Results:

The proactive program increased the number of eligible patients for LDCT screening by 37.3% compared to the retrospective phase.
Of the eligible patients, 59.2% verbally agreed to screening, and 20.4% were ultimately prescribed LDCT.
The nurse navigator's outreach identified an additional 12.4% of patients as eligible, highlighting the value of proactive identification.

Conclusions:

A proactive education and recruitment model significantly enhances the identification of eligible patients for lung cancer screening via LDCT.
The intervention demonstrated a substantial increase in patient engagement and willingness to pursue LDCT screening.
Developing effective strategies to increase LDCT screening delivery among eligible and willing patients remains a critical public health priority.
