¹ All authors: Department of Radiology, Medical University of South Carolina, 169 Ashley Ave., Rm. 297, PO Box 250322, Charleston, SC 29425.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of detection of pulmonary nodules on cardiac CT scans acquired with a limited field of view with the frequency of detection at full field of view.

CONCLUSION. Viewing of cardiac CT scans obtained only at a limited field of view can result in missing more than 67% of nodules larger than 1 cm and more than 80% of nodules smaller than 1 cm.

Keywords: cardiac CT • incidental findings • lung cancer • pulmonary nodule
