To enhance the ability of early diagnosis of pulmonary nodules, enable medical imaging and related departments to understand new developments and dynamics related to pulmonary nodules, and strengthen academic exchanges and technical cooperation. The city level follow-up education project "Early Diagnosis Training Course for Pulmonary Nodules" (Project No. C23-01-109010138), jointly organized by Chengdu High tech Medical Association and Chengdu Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital, and undertaken by Chengdu High tech Zone Radiological Imaging Quality Control Sub center, was successfully held online on October 22, 2023.

  Pulmonary nodules are a common lesion in lung imaging examinations, and their early diagnosis is of great significance for the treatment and prognosis of patients. Therefore, improving the early diagnostic ability of medical personnel for pulmonary nodules is particularly important. This training course aims to provide a learning and communication platform for medical imaging colleagues, physicians and technicians in related disciplines, helping them master the latest diagnostic techniques and concepts for pulmonary nodules.

  This training class invited Professor Li Zhenlin, Professor Yu Jianqun, Professor Pu Hong from Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Professor Zhou Peng from Sichuan Cancer Hospital, Professor Liu Jian and Professor Xu Zhiwei from Chengdu Third People's Hospital, Professor Lin Wei, Professor Li Wenbo, and Professor Tang Huamin from Chengdu First People's Hospital to give lectures.

  Professor Lin Wei from Chengdu First People's Hospital served as the chairman of the conference, Professor Song Bin from West China Hospital of Sichuan University served as the guest speaker at the opening ceremony, and Professor Ning Gang from West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University summarized the conference. The experts at this meeting shared the current imaging standards of HRCT in the lungs, HRCT diagnosis and treatment strategies for isolated pulmonary nodules, imaging and pathology of lung carcinoids, clinical research exploration of lung tumor imaging, CT classification and guideline consensus for pulmonary nodules, case sharing of pulmonary sub solid nodules, clinical application of CT guided percutaneous lung biopsy, and imaging diagnosis of benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. In addition, the training course also emphasizes clinical practicality, combined with case analysis, to enable participants to better understand and apply the knowledge they have learned.

  This training provides a valuable learning and communication opportunity for medical personnel, promotes the progress of medical imaging diagnosis technology, helps medical personnel improve their early diagnosis ability of pulmonary nodules, and better serves patients.
