Recommendations for measuring pulmonary nodules at CT: a statement from the Fleischner Society
L(U) Wenhui
Abstract：Given that all available guidelines for pulmonary nodule management are generally based on nodule size or changes,the standardization of nodule size measurements at CT is of great concern.The Fleischner Society put forward recommendations for measuring pulmonary nodules at CT at 2017,which introduced practical questions about nodule measurement that commonly arise in routine chnical practice and corresponding answers.The recommendations focused on the technical requirements for accurate nodule measurement,directions on how to accurately measure the size of nodules at the workstation,and how to report nodule size and changes in size.Finally,the areas of uncertainty were discussed,and topics needing future research were also highlighted.
