不确定的孤立性肺结节的放射学评估和处理提供了常见的诊断困境。随着多探测器计算机断层扫描技术的不断进步，计算机断层扫描仪的空间分辨率更高，整体灵敏度更高，越来越多的不确定孤立性肺结节被检测到。恶性和良性孤立性肺结节具有相似的影像学特征。这些偶发结节的临床管理不仅依赖于影像学特征，还依赖于恶性肿瘤风险因素，以及进一步研究的风险和益处。
The radiologic evaluation and management of the indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodule provide common diagnostic dilemma. With continued technologic advancements in multidetector computed tomography leading to higher spatial resolution and greater overall sensitivity of computed tomography scanners, increasing numbers of indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodules are being detected. Malignant and benign solitary pulmonary nodules have similar imaging features. Clinical management of these incidental nodules relies not only on imaging characteristics but also on malignancy risk factors, along with the risks and benefits of further investigation.
