Abstract
Background: A pulmonary nodule is defined as a rounded or irregular opacity, well or poorly defined, measuring up to 3 cm in diameter. Early detection the malignancy of nodules has a significant role in decreasing the mortality, increasing the survival time and consider as early diagnosis lung cancer.
Content: The main risk factors are those of current or former smokers, aged 55 to 74 years with a smoking history of at least 1 pack-day.
Low dose CT: Screening individuals with high risk of lung cancer by low dose CT scans could reduce lung cancer mortality by 20 percent compared to chest X-ray. Radiation dose has to maximum reduced but respect the rule of ALARA (As Low as Resonably Archivable).
ACR-LungRADS 2014: Classification of American College of Radiology, LungRADS, is a newly application but showed many advantages in comparison with others classification such as increasing positive predict value (PPV), no result of false negative and cost effectiveness. “Lung nodule” was applied as a smart phone application in order to have a quickly evaluation, especially the malignancy and management face on a pulmonary nodule.
