• Elevation of the diameter threshold for solid nodules from 6 to 9 mm can substantially reduce unnecessary follow-up LDCTs with a small proportion of diagnostic delay of lung cancers. • The average transverse and effective diameters of lung nodules showed similar performances for the prediction of a lung cancer diagnosis.
