Outpatient imaging services provider RadNet has acquired a 75% share in London, U.K.-based Heart & Lung Health, an organization that supports early detection and accurate diagnosis of lung cancer.
Heart Lung & Health consists of a network of more than 70 U.K. cardiothoracic radiologists who provide low-dose CT lung cancer screening reporting services to the National Health Service (NHS) as well as individual hospitals and academic institutions, according to RadNet. It is the leading provider of these services to the NHS England Targeted Lung Health Check program, for which it uses pulmonary nodule management and lung cancer artificial intelligence (AI) screening software from RadNet's Dutch subsidiary Aidence, RadNet said.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
