Multimodality Imaging Assessment of Pulmonary Nodules.
A common clinical dilemma is the evaluation of pulmonary nodules detected on imaging. Differentiation between malignant and benign pulmonary nodules is a complex problem despite major advances in medical imaging. Accurate diagnosis helps to eliminate unnecessary surgical procedures in patients with benign diseases. It is important for the diagnostician to be aware of the role of multimodality imaging for characterization of pulmonary nodules.
