Dr. Brian Bauman, a pulmonary expert at Summa Health, joined WEWS reporter Sara Carnes for a Your Health Matters segment to talk about lung nodules.

In the interview, Dr. Bauman explains what lung nodules are and shares an important reminder, not all nodules are cancerous, but all lung cancers begin as nodules.

To help detect lung cancer earlier, Summa Health is using advanced technology in two ways. Augmented intelligence can help identify lung nodules on CT scans that may not be visible to the naked eye, and it can also review medical records to flag nodules found during scans done for non-lung-related concerns.
