What's that spot in the lungs? A guide to pulmonary nodule workup and management

This course is designed as an overview of the workup of an incidentally detected pulmonary nodule or nodules.  While pulmonary nodules are profoundly common, they are often presumed to be malignant when the majority of nodules are benign.  Inappropriate presumption of malignancy leads to unnecessary diagnostic evaluation and can inappropriately induced fear and anxiety amongst patients.  This course will review radiographic findings common of incidentally detected pulmonary nodules, appropriate diagnostic tests based on aforementioned radiographic findings in a stepwise fashion to lead to an appropriate diagnosis and, if necessary, subspecialty referral for treatment.  Case examples will be presented.
