The rising issues in practice related with thoracic diagnostic imaging in both private and public sectors were presented to a panel consisting of thoracic radiologist experts from all parts of Thailand in a meeting held on 20 October 2023 by the Royal College of Radiologists of Thailand (RCRT) in collaboration with Foundation of Orphan and Rare Lung Disease (FORLD) at Asoke Conference Room on the fourth floor of Eastin Grand Hotel, Phaya Thai, Bangkok. The issues were grouped into 3 agendas: a post implementation review of the National HRCT Protocol, the safety and effectiveness of the diagnostic imaging, the standard report of HRCT in patients with fibrotic lung disease, and the recommended CT protocol for patients with thoracic malignancy in the public health universal coverage system.
