Research Abstract

We performed the prospective study to evaluate the verification of the "Guidelines for the management of pulmonary nodules detected by low-dose CT" proposed by the Japanese Society of CT Screening.The pulmonary nodules with 5mm or more in diameter on initial chest CT were managed based on these guidelines. Because there were no cases of delay in the diagnosis and treatment for the nodules including the operated nodules with increased in size, the guidelines seemed to be appropriate. In the near future it will be necessary to collect more cases and follow up them for longer period of time.
