Abstract
- About 30% of all chest computed tomography (CT) scans contain one or more pulmonary nodules.[1][1] Larger nodules can also be seen on chest radiographs.[2][2] The most common cause of a pulmonary nodule is a previous infection. Other benign entities include active infection and hamartomas.[2][2]
