Lung cancer (LC) screening using low-dose chest CT (LDCT) has already proven its efficacy. The mortality reduction associated with LC screening is around 20%, much higher than the reduction in mortality associated with screening for breast, colon or prostate cancers. Implementing lung cancer screening on a large scale faces two main obstacles: 1. The lack of thoracic radiologists and LDCT necessary for the eligible population (between 1.6 and 2.2 million people in France); 2. The high frequency of false positive screenings: in the NLST trial, more than 20% of the subjects screened were found to have at least one nodule of an indeterminate lung nodule (ILN) whereas less than 3% of ILNs are actually LC. The gold standard for determining on the benign or malignant nature of a nodule is definitive histology. Otherwise, the evolution of the nodule on serial thoracic imaging is a good alte
