Lung cancer reported as a benign lesion due to low-dose chest computed tomography artefact: A case report

Abstract

CT imaging for lung cancer screening requires low dose technique. Low dose CT chest imaging is associated with an increased risk of artefacts, such as increased noise. We present a case where an artefact from the low dose technique lead to a lung cancer being erroneously reported as a benign hamartoma.
