Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to test the use of novel CT image analysis techniques to enable a better characterisation of small pulmonary nodules. The study will incorporate solid and predominantly solid nodules of 5-15 mm scanned using a variety of scanner types, imaging protocols and patient populations. The investigators hope that the new image processing techniques will improve the accuracy of lung nodule analysis which will in turn reduce the number of unnecessary investigations for benign nodules and may increase the accuracy of the early diagnosis of lung cancer in malignant nodules. This study aims to test this novel analysis software to subsequently allow validation.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (3)
- label
- Group 1
- description
- On review of the scans by an expert, no further follow up or investigation is required, as the nodule(s) has been categorised as benign. As the patient was unaware the scan was being reviewed and no further investigations are required. Patient is invited to take part in the study (by telephone).
- label
- Group 2
- description
- On review, the nodule is indeterminate and further scanning at a later date is required. The patient is informed of this, usually via a telephone call from either the doctor or nurse specialist working in the Lung Nodule Clinic (LNC) or site equivalent. This LNC is usually a virtual clinic - no physical interaction with the patient - and the follow up scan is reviewed and the patient contacted again via the virtual clinic. Patient is invited to take part in the study (by telephone, by post or in clinic if appropriate).
- label
- Group 3
- description
- On review, the nodule is regarded as potentially malignant and further scans and a clinic appointment is made for the patient. Patient is invited to take part in the study (in clinic if appropriate).
