VIENNA - CT lung cancer screening is gradually being introduced across much of Europe. We caught up with thoracic imaging specialist Marie-Pierre Revel, PhD, from Paris and asked her about the current and future status of screening and the growing role of artificial intelligence.
Marie-Pierre Revel, PhD, head of radiology at Hôpital Cochin in Paris, past president of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging, and winner of the Most Effective Educator award in the EuroMinnies 2023, speaks with Stephen Wellman about lung cancer screening in Europe.

![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)
