Is low-dose CT effective at catching other forms of lung disease other than cancer?

Hi everyone, quick question here.

I've lately been reading up a lot about annual lung cancer screenings using low-dose CT and as a result more and more people in the risk categories doing yearly check-ups due to doctor recommendations and lower radiation levels, so I was just wondering if anyone could tell me whether this was also an effective way to detect other forms of lung diseases (COPD, pulmonary fibrosis/intestitional lung disease in general, etc.), or can those diseases be easily missed and mainly only seen on high-resolution CT's (HRCT)?

Thank you in advance!

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
