This article reviews the radiologic assessment of the SPN, with a focus on thin-section CT, positron emission tomography, and CT-guided transthoracic needle biops...
متن کاملThe Solitary Pulmonary Nodule.

The topic gains even more importance as clear evidence for the effectiveness of CT screening was provided by the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Yet, the results were tempered by the high false-posi...
