Incidental pulmonary nodules: Natural language processing analysis of radiology reports.

Journal: Respiratory medicine and research
PMID: 39232429

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary nodules are a common incidental finding on chest Computed Tomography scans (CT), most of the time outside of lung cancer screening (LCS). We aimed to evaluate the number of incidental pulmonary nodules (IPN) found in 1 year in our hospital, as well as the follow-up (FUP) rate and the clinical and radiological features associated with FUP.
