"Suggested risk factors to consider include older age, heavy smoking, irregular or spiculated margins, and upper lobe location. There is considerable ambiguity in the guidelines regarding this task, affording radiologists and other clinicians significant flexibility for tailoring recommendations to the individual clinical scenario and imaging findings. According to the American College of Chest Physicians, risk assessment can be performed qualitatively by using one's clinical judgement and/or quantitatively by using a validated model 7."
