Seasonal prevalence and characteristics of low-dose CT detected lung nodules in a general Dutch population
Abstract We investigated whether presence and characteristics of lung nodules in the general population using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) varied by season. Imaging in Lifelines (ImaLife) study participants who underwent chest LDCT-scanning between October 2018 and October 2019 were included in this sub-study. Hay fever season (summer) was defined as 1st April to 30th September and Influenza season (winter) as 1st October to 31st March. All lung nodules with volume of ≥ 30 mm3 (approximately 3 mm in diameter) were registered. In total, 2496 lung nodules were found in 1312 (38%) of the 3... Mehr ...
