Patient-Centered Radiology: The Impact of Viewing Lung Cancer Screening Images with Patients on Screening Adherence and Smoking Cessation

Departments Included in Project: Pritzker School of Medicine, Psychiatry, Radiology,

Project Classification: Patient Centeredness

Does the work incorporate equity?

This project incorporates equity as it focuses on personalized patient care and consultation regarding lung cancer screening imaging and smoking cessation counseling. Providing the resource of a radiologist specialty consultation focused on each patient's own individual CT imaging provides this important healthcare resource/appointment to every patient regardless of financial/income status. Talking through a patient's lung cancer screening imaging with them and providing personalized smoking cessation counseling for current smokers involves providing a unique, individualized, and multidisciplinary approach to care through shared decision-making, patient education, and patient counseling.
