Dr. Morteza Naghavi gave an introductory presentation on the first day of the 1st Conference on Integrating Early Detection of Heart and Lung Disease through Low-Dose CT.
The conference focused on the integration of early detection for heart and lung diseases, particularly highlighting the history and advancements in lung cancer screening since 1992. Key achievements include participant recruitment, international expansion, and improved survival rates for early-detected lung cancer. Emphasizing the importance of collaborations and AI's role in enhancing screening efficiency and accuracy, the conference called for a holistic approach to preventive health by integrating chest CT scan findings for comprehensive assessments. Future goals aim to expand global screening programs and improve early detection methods for both lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The contributions of various organizations and individuals in advancing these technologies were also acknowledged.
