NLST Trial Data and Images

Non-image Data

NLST investigators with approved access to NLST data may acquire copies of data in two different ways:

  • Directly from IMS
    This is a direct request for specific data.  Data provided in SAS datasets, Excel spreadsheets, or CSV files.
     
  • Indirectly, through a Query Tool (QT)
    Investigators launch the web-based QT, make menu-driven queries against the QT database (a significant subset of all trial data), and save query results to an Excel spreadsheet.  The chief advantage to the QT is the ability to rapidly adjust queries and build a final spreadsheet for analysis.  In addition, the QT offers the ability to download associated CT image
