Purpose of the guideline: Multiple pulmonary nodules (MPNs) are common and frequently-occurring clinical diseases. Early screening and prompt intervention of high-risk nodules are the top priorities in the management of this disease. Combining modern imaging artificial intelligence technology to predict the malignancy of pulmonary nodules and adopting different schemes of integrated traditional Chinese and modern medicine diagnosis and treatment methods for different risk levels of pulmonary nodules can help build a more complete diagnosis and treatment system for multiple pulmonary nodules.
