The reading of the pulmonary knot report is a complex process involving knowledge of medical imaging, pathology and clinical medicine.1. Basic information on the reportThe following basic information should be taken into account in the examination of the Lung Fist Report:Patient information: Ensure that the report is directed at the correct patient.Date of inspection: Time of inspection is known to allow for comparison of changes in examination before and after inspection.Type of inspection: Usually a chest CT scan or X-ray.2. Description of the sectionThe report details the size, location, form, etc. of the section:Size: The report provides the maximum diameter of the section, usually in mm.Location: Description of which pulmonary leaves, pulmonary sections, and their specific location.Form: Includes the shape of the knot (round, elliptical, irregular), edge (sliding, hair prick, foliage).3. Characteristics of the sectionThe following characteristics help to judge the nature of the section:Density: Physical, partial or glass grinding density.Margins: Clear, vague, hairy or leafy.Growth speed: Does the node increase compared to previous examinations?Calcium: Is there calcified, calcified form and distribution within the knot?Image expressionCT values: The report may provide a CT value for the ending section (Hind unit) to help judge the nature of the ending section.Enhanced scan: If an enhanced CT scan is performed, the report will describe the strengthening of the section after injection of the contrast.5. Nature assessment of the sectionThe report usually gives a preliminary nature assessment based on the visual characteristics of the section:(b) The possibility of benignness: if the nodal has a benign character, such as a smooth edge, a shape rule, no growth, etc.Malignant possibility: If the nodal has a malignant character, such as a permutation, irregular shape, rapid growth, etc.Uncertainty: if the character of the section is not sufficient to determine its nature.Recommendations and follow-up visitsThe report makes the following recommendations based on the risk level at the end of the section:Observation: For low-risk endings, regular follow-up visits may be recommended.Further checks: PET-CT scans, CT-led piercings.Surgery: For knots of high suspicion of malignity, surgical removal may be recommended.Key points of interpretation of the reportUnderstanding terminology: familiar with medical video terminology, such as glass grinding density, physical knots, etc.Comparative historical report: If previous reports are available, compare the changes in the closing section.Consultation with a specialist: If the report is complex or unclear, a radiologist or a chest surgeon should be consulted.8. Limitations of reportingThe visual inspection has its limitations and does not fully determine the nature of the section.The report is based on visual performance and final diagnosis needs to be combined with clinical information, laboratory examinations and pathological results.ConclusionsThe pulmonary knot report is interpreted with attention to the size, location, morphology, density, growth rate, and the nature assessment and recommendations given in the report. At the same time, the terminology and limitations of the report should be understood and, where necessary, specialized physicians consulted. Proper interpretation of the report is essential for follow-up treatment decisions.
