Radiological and pathological analysis of LDCT screen detected and surgically resected sub-centimetre lung nodules in 44 asymptomatic patients

Conclusion ACa, AIS and AAH nodules detected on LDCT included more women (77%) than men in our cohort. Smoking as inclusive criteria for LDCT screening of lung cancer needs to be further evaluated in the Chinese population. The reconstructed nodule shape, density and margin may help radiologists to identify small cancer and pre-cancer nodules from benign conditions.
