Brock Model
The British Thoracic Society have updated guidance on assessing solitary pulmonary nodules. They advise using the Brock model for predicting risk of malignancy following CT. This will now be standard practice for nodule follow up across the UK and would be a very useful addition to the app. The Herder model is currently on the app and is also recommended for use post PET-CT.
