Patient related factors that may influence accuracy of nodule measurement
| Study author and year | Patient or nodule factor | Effect on nodule measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Gietema et al (2007)343 Korst et al (2011)78 Wang et al (2008)344 | Non-spherical or irregular nodule shape | Less accurate segmentation for volume measurement |
| Ko et al (2012)79 | Juxta pleural position | Less reliable volumetry |
| Goodman et al (2006)345 Kostis et al (2004)83 | Smaller nodule size | Less reproducible measurements |
| Wang et al (2008)344 | Juxta vascular position | Less reliable volumetry |
| Boll et al (2004)346 | Cardiac motion | Less reliable volumetry |
