1- To describe the spectrum of CT features of lung adenocarcinoma according to the new classification with particular emphasis on subsolid nodules 2- To provide a differential diagnosis approach of subsolid nodules with pathologic correlation 3- To review the diagnosis and management implications of subsolid nodules  

1. Introduction of the 2011 classification of adenocarcinoma of the lung 2. CT features of the spectrum of lesions of lung adenocarcinoma with pathologic correlation: atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, adenocarcinoma in situ, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, invasive adenocarcinoma 3. Differential diagnosis of subsolid nodules and the imaging characteristics from benign inflammatory processes to malignant conditions:      a - Infections: Aspergillus, virus, atypical pneumonia      b - Malignant diseases: lymphoma, metastases      c - Vascular diseases: pulmonary hemorrhage, vasculitis, pulmonary endometriosis      d - Inflammatory diseases: organizing pneumonia, focal interstitial fibrosis, eosinophilic pneumonia 4. Usefulness of PET-CT in diagnosis approach  5. Imaging guided biopsy of subsolid nodules and surgical approach 6. Current management guidelines for pulmonary subsolid nodules
