BTS Quality Standards for the investigation and management of pulmonary nodules

The Quality Standards are based on the BTS guideline for the investigation and management of pulmonary nodules published in 2015 which provide clear recommendations for chest physicians to ensure that patients with incidental pulmonary nodules follow a consistent process of investigation and, where appropriate, treatment.

Risk Calculators

Three risk prediction calculators have been developed to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary nodules – using either CT, PET-CT or volume doubling time information. These calculators should be used in conjunction with the BTS Guideline for Pulmonary Nodules.

To support health care professionals in this area, we worked with Cancer Research UK to develop a pulmonary nodule risk calculator app for Apple iOS.
