Lung Cancer Screening

[Robert Peterson <peterson.179@postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu>]

I am looking for any information about lung cancer screening using a helical
CT scanner. Are there any states where this type of screening is permitted,
and what radiation dose is associated with this procedure.
Thank you.
