Title
Variability among NLST radiologists ? Extension to ACRIN component

Summary
We have an approved (LSS-only) proposal titled “Variability among NLST radiologists”. Currently, this proposal only covers the LSS component. We would like to assess whether the ACRIN side data are such, in terms of number of radiologists and number of exams per radiologist, that this project can be extended to the ACRIN side. If this extension proves feasible, then we would use the ACRIN data along with the LSS data to examine reader variability trial-wide.
