Purpose
  1. To create customized 3D-printed lung nodules (patient and mathematical-based) representative of internationally accepted nodule growth guidelines and variability (shape and composition), from solid to ground glass nodules (GGOs). 
  2.  To evaluate the X-ray attenuation (with clinical CT systems) and morphometry of the nodules (micro-CT) compared to their design models.
  3.  To use such nodules in combination with commercial and 3D-printed lung phantoms for image quality evaluation of CT protocols.
