🫁 Today's Nodular Pattern session was originally planned to cover both centrilobular ground-glass nodules and centrilobular soft-tissue nodules.
However, the discussion of centrilobular ground-glass nodules alone occupied the entire session due to the depth of practical differential diagnosis and case-based discussion.
Topics included:
✔ Diagnostic approach to centrilobular ground-glass nodules
✔ Distinction between inflammatory, smoking-related, infectious, and other causes
✔ Practical imaging clues that help narrow the differential diagnosis
✔ Updated pulmonary hypertension classification and practical understanding of the different groups
The remaining topics will continue in the next session:
✔ Centrilobular soft-tissue nodules
✔ Tree-in-bud pattern
✔ Practical diagnostic approach and differential diagnosis
One of the most rewarding aspects of this course has been the highly interactive discussions and the enthusiasm of participants to explore topics in greater depth than originally planned.
The goal remains the same: not simply identifying patterns, but understanding their diagnostic significance in real-world practice.
