The Quantitative Imaging Workshop (QIW) brings together leading experts from around the world for the advancement of quantitative low-dose computed tomography (CT) imaging biomarkers for detection and management of early chest diseases including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease—three of the top four leading causes of death in the United States.

The upcoming workshop, in partnership with the American Lung Association, is a high-impact, multidisciplinary forum where participants explore exciting new biomedical opportunities that arise with use of these transformational imaging technologies. Participants hail from industry, academia, professional societies, government, and patient advocacy and come together to discuss progress and make recommendations about next steps in chest imaging.

The program is virtual and open to all with an interest in learning more about comprehensive chest CT screening and its role in the early detection and prevention of lung and heart diseases that affect millions annually.

Faculty will convene on November 12 to 13, 2026, at the headquarters of the American Lung Association in Chicago for their presentations and panel discussions. Registrants are invited view the program virtually.

Agenda

A comprehensive agenda and esteemed group of experts across specialties will provide an overview about the evolution of low-dose CT screening for early lung cancer to its widespread use in comprehensive chest imaging and continued evolution in identifying disorders of the respiratory/cardiovascular/coronary systems. Faculty include James Mulshine, MD, of Rush University, Chicago; David Yankelevitz, MD, of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City; Harold Wimmer, MD, President of the American Lung Association, Chicago; and Jody Hoyos, MHA, of the Prevent Cancer Foundation, in Alexandria, Virginia, and many more who are involved in efforts to use comprehensive low-dose chest CT screening as a means to identifying problems and disease early when the chance for prevention and cure is greatest.
