Summary
This multicenter, prospective study aims to evaluate the real-world clinical utility of chest X-ray (CXR) for large-scale thoracic disease screening. Adult participants presenting for health examinations will undergo digital CXR screening, and any suspected abnormalities will be confirmed via a gold standard reference, such as a chest CT scan or clinical follow-up. The primary outcome measure is the detection rate (screening yield) of confirmed thoracic conditions. Secondary measures will assess diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity and specificity), false-positive rates, and multi-center reading consistency. By providing prospective, large-cohort evidence, this research seeks to validate the cost-effectiveness and feasibility of CXR in identifying early-stage lung, pleural, and cardiac abnormalities, ultimately guiding public health strategies and optimizing early medical intervention.
