About Lung Nodule Growth Rate Calculator
Calculate the growth rate of pulmonary nodules to assess malignancy risk and determine appropriate follow-up intervals. This calculator uses volume doubling time (VDT) and growth rate analysis to help guide clinical decision-making for lung nodule management.

Clinical Guidelines
- ✓ VDT <400 days suggests malignancy
- ✓ VDT 400-600 days is indeterminate
- ✓ VDT >600 days suggests benign process
- ✓ Consider biopsy for growing nodules
- ✓ Follow Fleischner criteria for surveillance
- ✓ Monitor for new symptoms
