From: The role of general practice in routes to diagnosis of lung cancer in Denmark: a population-based study of general practice involvement, diagnostic activity and diagnostic intervals

Figure 2

Proportion of lung cancer patients with X-ray(s)performed during the 12 months immediately before diagnosis. The upper curve (blue) shows the proportion of patients receiving at least one X-ray before diagnosis, while the lower (red) shows the proportion of patients receiving at least two X-rays before diagnosis. The curves should be read backwards from D (time for diagnosis), implying that approximately 34% of patients receive at least two X-rays 90 days before diagnosis. The bands are 95% confidence intervals.
