Abstract:
Incidental pulmonary nodules are not infrequently identified on computed tomography imaging in the pediatric population and can be a challenge in suggesting appropriate follow-up recommendations. An evidence-based and practical imaging approach for diagnosis and appropriate directed management is essential for optimal patient care. This article provides an up-to-date review of the pediatric pulmonary nodule literature and suggests a practical algorithm to manage pulmonary nodules in the pediatric population.
摘要:
在儿科人群中,在计算机断层扫描成像中很少发现偶然的肺结节,并且在建议适当的后续建议方面可能是一个挑战。基于证据和实用的成像方法进行诊断和适当的指导管理对于最佳的患者护理至关重要。本文提供了小儿肺结节文献的最新综述,并提出了一种实用的算法来管理小儿人群中的肺结节。
