Learning objectives To analyze the Lung-RADS ( Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System ) Classification System with the help of simple charts and examples. To help radiologists interpret Lung-RADS and provide a basic guide for reporting. 
Read more Background Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans are recommended for screening of patients at high risk for lung cancer[1-3]. In order to interpret the findings on the scans effectively and standardize the screening, Lung-RADS (Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System) classification is proposed[1]. Each exam in the Lung-RADS classification receives an overall score of 0–4, depending on the nodule with the highest level of suspicion[1-3]. The Lung-RADS score provides guidance for estimating cancer risk and choosing treatment options.
Read more Findings and procedure details To define the Lung-RADS category, the lesions are characterized as either parenchymal nodules, airway nodules, or atypical cystic lesions[1-4]. The Lung-RADS score is then calculated by categorizing these lesions based on size and growth. The LDCT exam is considered Lung RADS 0 if the prior chest exam is absent or being located for comparison, if there are parts of the lungs that cannot be evaluated, or if there are findings suggesting an inflammatory or infectious process. [fig 1] In case of...
Read more Conclusion To help clinicians choose the appropriate management option, low-dose chest CT reports should be standardized and precise. Lung-RADS is a useful tool that radiologists should utilize in this regard.
