Objectives The objective of this article is to update previous evidence-based
recommendations for evaluation and management of individuals with solid pulmonary …

Improved diagnostic sensitivity of bronchsocopy for the investigation of peripheral
pulmonary lesions (PPLs) with the use of radial probe endobroncial ultrasound (EBUS) has …

We investigate the problem of lung nodule malignancy suspiciousness (the likelihood of
nodule malignancy) classification using thoracic Computed Tomography (CT) images …

Background The detection of pulmonary nodules (PNs) is likely to increase, especially with
the release of the National Lung Screen Trials. When tissue diagnosis is desired …

The new guidelines for managing incidental pulmonary nodules published by the Fleischner
Society in 2017 reflect an improved understanding of the risk factors and biologic features of …

Purpose To test whether computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) approaches can increase the
positive predictive value (PPV) and reduce the false-positive rate in lung cancer screening …

Background: Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is an emerging endoscopic
technique for the diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions. A thorough analysis of ENB's yield …

Background Pulmonary nodules are spherical radiographic opacities that measure up to 30
mm in diameter. Nodules are extremely common in clinical practice and challenging to …

Rationale: Annual low-radiation-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung
cancer has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality among high-risk individuals and is …

A solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is defined as a round opacity that is smaller than 3 cm. It
may be solid or subsolid in attenuation. Semisolid nodules may have purely ground-glass …
