35 and above, solid nodule, multiple nodules, <6mm, unknown risk, < 12 months.
ACR Fleischner Society recommendations (MacMahon, et al. Radiology 2017; 284(1): 228-43) suggest the following:
For patients with low risk of lung cancer, no need for further follow-up.
For patients with high risk of lung cancer, generally no need for follow-up. An optional follow-up chest CT at 12 months could be performed if there is high index of suspicion. If unchanged, no further follow-up is necessary.
