Computed tomography (CT) follow-up of indeterminate pulmonary nodules and the quantification of growth characteristics are the commonly adopted strategy in clinical setting. The volume/mass doubling time can be used to quantify the growth velocity based on exponential growth model. Therefore, we reviewed the followed aspects on growth evaluation of pulmonary nodules on chest CT, including the growth model of lung cancer, the methods used for nodule growth quantification and the growth characteristics of different types of pulmonary nodules.
计算机断层扫描(CT)对肺结节进行随访以及对生长特征进行量化是临床中常用的策略。体积/质量倍增时间可用于基于指数生长模型量化生长速度。因此,我们回顾了胸部CT上肺结节生长评估的以下方面,包括肺癌的生长模型、用于结节生长量化的方法以及不同类型肺结节的生长特征。
