Detection of growth is a practical non-invasive method to classify the common small pulmonary nodules detected at thin-section (multislice) computed tomography (CT). This paper describes accuracy and appropriate follow-up intervals for different methods of growth detection at CT: visual analysis, two-dimensional measurement, three-dimensional computer-aided volumetry.
