  • Solid < 6 mm, new 4 mm
  • Part solid < 6 mm
  • Non solid < 20 mm OR ≥ 20 mm unchanged or slow growing
• 3. Probably benign(Low likelihood of becoming clinically active cancer suggesting short term follow-up)->6 month LDCT
  • Solid 6–8 mm at baseline OR new 4–6 mm
  • Part solid ≥ 6 mm with solid < 6 mm OR new < 6 mm total
  • Nonsolid ≥ 20 mm
• 4A. Suspicious (Additional diagnostic testing and/or tissue sampling is advised)->Tissue sampling OR 3 month LDCT, PET/CT when ≥ 8 mm solid
  • Solid 8–15 mm at baseline OR growing < 8 mm OR new 6–8 mm
  • Part solid ≥ 6 mm with solid 6–8 mm OR new growing < 4 mm total
