Limitations of two-dimensional (2D) measurements. Limitations of two-dimensional (2D) measurements. The axial diameter may not be the maximum one in the evaluation of lung nodules. a) A small part-solid nodule in the apico-posterior segment of the left upper lobe, with a maximum axial diameter of 12×12.2 mm; b) the sagittal multiplanar reconstruction shows that the largest diameter of the same nodule is the sagittal one of 24.7 mm. The multiplanar evaluation of nodule diameter is especially important to document asymmetrical growth of nodules. c), d) The low level of agreement when measuring small nodules: for the same nodule in the right lower lobe two different diameter values have been reported by two readers. Considering the nearest whole diameter of the two values, it results in 1 mm difference in the maximum diameter, a significant difference when considering small nodules. Anna Rita Larici et al.
