Understand what lung nodules are, what causes them, how they’re detected, and when to be concerned. Find out what to expect after a lung nodule is found.
Benign nodules also tend to have smoother edges and have a more even color throughout as well as a more regular shape than cancerous nodules. In most cases, your doctor can check speed of growth, shape, and other characteristics such as calcification on a chest X-ray or CT scan. It is...
Multiple lung nodules often suggest cancer, but not always. Learn more about what having multiple lung nodules on an X-ray might mean.
A 60-year-old woman was referred to the pulmonary clinic for evaluation of lung nodules. Her medical history was notable for hypothyroidism, anxiety, and a ruptured breast implant for which incomplete surgical resection and evacuation had been performed 10 years previously. She was a lifelong non...
(i.e., evaluation of metabolic activity) for intermediate-risk solid nodules >8mm in size. The most common functional imaging test is thePET scan, which uses radioactively labeled glucose ((18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose [FDG]). Combined PET/CT has the advantage of combining metabolic activity with ...
However, clinicians should be aware of the possibility that pulmonary nodules mimicking metastasis on FDG-PET with computed tomography (CT) in patients who have PTC could be primary lung cancer. We describe two patients who presented with pulmonary nodular lesions by FDG-PET-CT and unexpected ...

Performance of FDG-PET to Diagnose Lung Nodules by Endemic Status for 70 Studies View LargeDownload The operating points for endemic and nonendemic infectious lung disease studies and 95% confidence and prediction intervals for those operating points are shown. The horizontal box and whiskers plot ...
Researchers involved in a large, multi-institutional study comparing the accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) in the characterization of lung nodules found that PET was far more reliable in detecting whether or not
