Conventional radiography is initial method of choice for the diagnosis of lung masses. The evaluation lung masses will depend on several characteristics, such as: size, pattern, presence of calcifications, attenuation, location, and previous imaging studies.

Overview

Conventional radiography is initial method of choice for the diagnosis of lung masses. The evaluation lung masses will depend on several characteristics, such as: size, pattern, presence of calcifications, attenuation, location, and previous imaging studies. CT is the gold standard for the complete evaluation of lung masses.
