In it, outstanding specialists should cooperate to research and teach radiology of the chest .
In addition to the annual non-public conference at which the participants exchange and discuss research results, the society directs its main activity towards publications, some of which are research-oriented, some of which are standardized as "recommendations".
In particular, the recommendations for follow-up monitoring of solid pulmonary nodules (2005) and non-solid pulmonary nodules (2013) that were discovered by chance in computed tomography are frequently used or cited.
