Lung nodules are quite common, and are found on 1 in 500 chest x-rays, and 1 in 100 CT scans of the chest. Approximately 150,000 lung nodules are detected in people in the United States each year. Roughly half of smokers over the age of 50 will have nodules on a CT scan of their chest. lung nodule is defined as a âspotâ on the lung that is 3 cm (about 1Â½ inches) in diameter or less. If an abnormality is seen on an x-ray of the lungs that is larger than 3 cm, it is considered a âlung massâ instead of a nodule.
