Overview
According to the Fleischner Society, solitary pulmonary nodules may be classified by size, distribution, and attenuation, into 5 categories: solid nodules measuring >8 mm in diameter, solid nodules measuring ≤8 mm in diameter, pure subsolid nodules, part-solid nodules, and multiple nodules.
Classification
Pulmonary nodules may be classified by size, attenuation, and distribution into the following:
Size
- Solid nodules measuring >8 mm and < 30 mm in diameter
- Solid nodules measuring ≤8 mm in diameter
Attenuation
- Pure subsolid nodules
- Part-solid nodules
Distribution
- Solitary pulmonary nodule
- Multiple pulmonary nodules
