Incidental pulmonary nodules: characterization and management.

Incidental pulmonary nodules: characterization and management. Radiologia. 2019 May 06;: Authors: Trinidad López C, Delgado Sánchez-Gracián C, Utrera Pérez E, Jurado Basildo C, Sepúlveda Villegas CA Abstract This update covers the management of solitary or multiple pulmonary nodules detected incidentally in imaging studies done for other reasons. It describes the most appropriate computed tomography technique for the evaluation of these nodules, how they are classified, and how the different types of nodules are measured. It also reviews the patient-related and nodule-related criteria for determining the risk of malignancy. It discusses the recommendations in the guidelines recently published by the Fleischner Society for the management and follow-up of each type of nodules according to its size and risk of malignancy.
