Abstract in brief
- The Fleischner Society has released an updated glossary of terms for thoracic imaging, replacing outdated versions from 1984 and 1996.
- The update is necessary due to the evolution of language in the field, with new terms introduced, some becoming obsolete, and others changing in meaning.
- The glossary includes brief descriptions of diseases along with pictorial examples, such as chest radiographs and CT scans, for most of the terms defined.

@ElliotServaisMD @DavidCookeMD @UpToDate Agree. 3cm is cut off. It’s a radiographic definiton. A nice list of standardized nomenclature is published by the Fleischner society since the early 1990s https://t.co/sTPHyXfmWb
@DavidCookeMD The Fleischner Society defines a nodule as <3cm (versus mass which is 3cm or larger). This has been the classic teaching. I completely agree with you that from a surgeon's perspective, 2cm is a more clinically relevant size. https://t.co/sDxYQv4Ofi

1. Know the definition! Cyst is a round parenchymal lucency or low-attenuating area with a well-defined interface with normal lung. Know the cyst mimics including cavity, honeycombing, emphysema, bulla, bleb, bronchiectasis, etc. https://t.co/Pxe9tcLwWv

@mjhankins1 @drkatie2009 The reason why many people say that infiltrate should not be used - because it’s too vague and mostly read by clinicians as infection. Hence Flieschner Society said - Don’t use it. https://t.co/iYUH75G9Zz
