Exam mapping & scope
This chapter maps to the incidental and screen‑detected pulmonary nodule domain for interventional pulmonology. Core competencies include malignancy risk prediction (Mayo, Herder, Brock, TREAT), guideline‑directed follow‑up (Fleischner/ACCP/BTS; Lung‑RADS for screening), PET/CT interpretation, biomarker integration, procedure selection (bronchoscopic—conventional, navigational, robotic—versus transthoracic), anesthesia/ventilation strategies to reduce atelectasis, intra‑procedural imaging (cone‑beam CT), complication mitigation, and outcome interpretation.
