This is a short lecture (11 odd minutes) that I gave recently on how to risk stratify lung nodules.

When we are faced with solitary nodules, there are typically 4 decisions to be made

  1. Leave alone
  2. Follow-up (active surveillance)
  3. Biopsy
  4. Resect

The lecture runs through these scenarios with examples.

Chylothorax is often an enigma. Usually, iatrogenic, traumatic and neoplastic causes can be diagnosed with standard contrast CT scans. Other causes need lymphangiograms for definitive diagnoses.

It is unlikely that the presence of TB in endemic countries will affect the utility of LDCT for cancer detection in smokers, as long as the radiologists and pulmonologists have good interpretation skills and these patients are managed in a multidisciplinary setting
