NHS Targeted Lung Check

Hi folks . . . those smokers or ex smokers on here may be aware of this screening programme currently being rolled out.

Apparently the scan can ID a number of incidental issues including Liver Lesions which I believe are not usually related to alcohol consumption.

However, might they also detect Fatty Liver, Fibrosis or Cirrhosis etc too?

Can't see anything to this effect but wondered whether anyone has been diagnosed via this procedure?
