Dye Illuminates Lung Nodules for Early Cancer Detection
Understanding Lung Nodules and the Challenge of Early Detection Lung nodules are small, round growths in the lungs that show up on imaging tests like CT scans. While most nodules are benign, some can indicate early stages of lung cancer. Because nodules are often tiny—sometimes only a few millimeters across—spotting them early can be difficult.…
