Figure 1a. Solid pulmonary nodule smaller than 6 mm in a high-risk patient.

(a) Axial nonenhanced chest CT image (lung window) of the left lung shows a 5-mm solid
pulmonary nodule (arrow) with lobulated margins in the left upper lobe. (b) Axial nonenhanced chest CT image (lung window) at 12-month follow-up shows interval growth
of the solid left upper lobe nodule (arrow), which now measures 13 mm and has persistent contour lobulation. Histopathologic analysis of the resected nodule revealed
invasive adenocarcinoma.
