Webinar Description
This class provides an overview of the evaluation of incidentally detected pulmonary nodules. Although pulmonary nodules are quite common, they are often presumed to be malignant, despite the fact that most are benign. An unwarranted assumption of malignancy can lead to unnecessary diagnostic procedures and may induce undue fear and anxiety in patients. This class will review radiographic findings typically associated with incidentally detected pulmonary nodules and will outline a stepwise approach to appropriate diagnostic testing based on these findings, ultimately guiding toward an accurate diagnosis and, if needed, referral to a specialist for treatment. Case examples will also be presented.
