Screening for disease, including cancer, can cause harm —during screening, diagnosis and treatment. With lung cancer ...

Navigational bronchoscopy was noninferior to CT-guided biopsy when assessing diagnostic accuracy in patients with lung ...

Background Prospective validation and comparison of the performance of nodule management protocols is limited. The aim of this study was to examine the performance of size and risk thresholds for ...

ABSTRACT: Detection of incidental pulmonary nodules (IPNs), besides lung cancer screening (LCS) programs, is key in early lung cancer detection and reducing lung cancer mortality. Computer-aided IPN ...

For standard- versus low-dose scans, the number of detected nodules was 33 versus 24 (FlyerScan) and 16 versus 13 (MONAI) for 3-mm nodules; 46 versus 42 (FlyerScan) and 39 versus 30 (MONAI) for 4 ...

MONDAY, Oct. 21, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Two lung-nodule computer-aided detection (CAD) systems demonstrated reduced sensitivity on low- versus standard-dose computed tomography (CT) scans for small ...

Two lung-nodule computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have demonstrated reduced sensitivity on low- versus standard-dose computed tomography (CT) scans for small nodules in pediatric patients ...

For nodules less than 5 millimeters, less than 1% are cancer. For nodules between 5 mm and 10 mm, there's up to a 28% chance that it's cancer. For nodules greater than 2 cm (approaching the size ...

The median growth in diameter was 3 [2.25–4.5]mm. A direct referral to the 2WW pathway was made in one patient. The prior CT scans were dedicated thoracic imaging in 45 cases, while other CT imaging ...

Accurate pulmonary nodule detection is a crucial step in lung cancer screening. Computer-aided detection (CAD) systems are not routinely used by radiologists for pulmonary nodule detection in clinical ...

A 43-year-old man was evaluated because of a lung nodule. A PET scan showed FDG uptake in the nodule and adjacent lymph nodes. A diagnostic test was performed.
