Pulmonary Nodules & the New GW Hospital Incidental Lung Nodule Program

The Incidental Lung Nodule Program at GWU Hospital specializes in the evaluation, risk assessment, and management of incidentally detected lung nodules on imaging studies. Our goal is to provide prompt and evidence-based care for patients with pulmonary nodules and ensure that they are followed appropriately for better patient outcomes.

Lung nodules are an increasingly common finding on imaging studies. Some estimate that over 30% of CT scans detect a lung nodule and that 1.6 million patients are found to have a lung nodule each year. Often, the lung nodules are found on imaging performed for an unrelated reason. Listen as Sora Ely, MD discusses the Incidental Lung Nodule Program at GWU Hospital
