Overview
Pulmonary nodules may be classified according to size (> 8 mm vs. ≤8 mm), attenuation (pure solid vs. part-solid), and distribution (solitary vs. multiple).
Classification
Pulmonary nodules may be classified by size, attenuation, and distribution into the following:
Size
- Nodules measuring >8 mm and < 30 mm in diameter
- Nodules measuring ≤8 mm in diameter
Attenuation
- Pure solid nodules
- Part-solid nodules
Distribution
- Solitary pulmonary nodule
- Multiple pulmonary nodules
