Abstract
Pulmonary nodules are a common finding in routine chest studies. Although there are no pathognomic clinical or radiological signs that enable the exact nature of a pulmonary nodule to be determined, the clinical context and the appropriate characterization of the pulmonary nodule make it possible to reach the correct diagnosis in most cases. This article discusses the most important aspects involved in the use of multislice computed tomography in the noninvasive detection and characterization of pulmonary nodules.
