Abstract
Intrapulmonary nodules are one of the most common findings in multidetector row Computed tomography (MDCT) chest examinations. Midthun et al. (1993) defined pulmonary nodules as round opacities which are < 3 cm in diameter and are usually surrounded by pulmonary parenchyma. Larger lesions are called masses, as they are most likely malignant. Unfortunately most pulmonary nodules are <10 mm in diameter leading to diagnostic difficulties, as differential diagnosis of these nodules is not easy, but may include potentially malignant diseases such as lung cancer and pulmonary metastasis. To differentiate between benign and malignant nodules, image features can be applied, but also sufficient diagnostic workup algorithms are necessary.
