Discriminative features of thin-slice computed tomography for peripheral intrapulmonary lymph nodes

Background: The use of computed tomography (CT) scans has increased the opportunities to detect small nodular shadows in peripheral lung fields. Intrapulmonary lymph nodes (IPLNs) are sometimes identified among these nodular shadows, and a differential diagnosis is often difficult. However, few desc...
