Figure 2. Nodule Doubling Times Frontal chest radiograph obtained 160 days after the radiograph above shows that the nodule has increased in size to 3 cm. Calculations reveal that this growth rate represents a doubling time of 80 days (within the potentially malignant range). Metastasis from a colon carcinoma was found at biopsy. | ||||||||||
