Özet

Objective: Targeted computed tomography (TCT) scans a limited part or those parts of the lung with nodules that require follow-up. In order to apply targeted tomography safely, it is important to know the frequency of newly appearing nodules in unscanned regions of lung. We aimed to evaluate the frequency and importance of new pulmonary nodules that appear in patients followed-up for nodules according to Fleischner society guidelines. Methods: A total of 117 patients (women: 54; men: 63; mean age: 55±14 years; range: 30-88 years) who were followed-up for 265 lung nodules were included in this study. The inclusion criteria was presence of at least 1 nodule that was followed-up for at least 6 months with CT. Patients with calcified nodules or known malignancy during initial CT were excluded. Results: The median follow-up time was 22 months (range: 6-80 months) and the median number of follow-up CT scans was 2 (range: 1-5). New nodules appeared only in 6% (7/117) of the patients, of which 5 had nodules that disappeared or decreased in size during follow-up. Conclusion: For patients who were followed-up for pulmonary nodules, the frequency of new nodule formation was low. This should encourage the use of TCT for nodule follow-up. With an appropriate TCT follow-up schedule, patients will receive reasonably low radiation levels without affecting their management.

Abstract

Amaç: Lezyona yönelik bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) uygulamasında amaç, sadece nodül görülen akciğer alanlarının taranması ile hastanın maruz kaldığı radyasyon dozunu azaltmaktır. Ancak literatürde bu konuda yeterli çalışma olmaması nedeniyle, taranmayan akciğer alanlarında yeni nodül gelişme sıklığı ve riski bilinmemektedir. Amacımız Fleischner kriterlerine göre nodül ya da nodülleri takip edilen hastalarda yeni nodül sıklığı ve öneminin belirlenmesidir. Yöntemler: Yüz on yedi hasta (54 kadın, 63 erkek; ortalama yaşları 55±14) ve 265 nodül çalışma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Arşiv taramasında en az bir nodülü olup, 6 ay ve daha uzun süre BT ile takip edilen hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Kalsifiye nodülleri ya da bilinen maligniteleri olan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakılmıştır. Bulgular: Ortalama takip süresi 22 ay (aralık: 6-80 ay), hasta başına medyan BT sayısı 2 (aralık 1-5). Takip sırasında 117 hastanın sadece yedisinde (%6) yeni nodül gelişmiştir. Bu 7 hastanın 5’inde nodüller ya kaybolmuş ya da küçülmüştür. Sonuç: Tomografi ile nodül takibi yapılan hastaların yeni nodül geliştirme sıklığı düşüktür. Bu bulgu, nodül takibinde lezyona yönelik BT’nin kullanılabilirliğini desteklemektedir.
