A member asked:
What's a difference between lung nodule and intrapulmonary nodule? what's smallest size in mm that can be detected on ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No difference: They are two terms for the same thing. The smallest size detectable depends on the type of CT scanner and the technical parameters of the scan. A high resolution, thin section scan could potentially detect lesions 1mm or so in size.
