These rating tables could be used to distinguish the IPLNs from primary lung cancer, so as to improve the diagnostic accuracy and help clinicians make correct judgments and decisions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003A total of 82 patients with 110 IPLNs and 35 patients with primary lung cancer lesions were collected from June 2017 to December 2018. All lesions were solid nodules of less than 12\u2009mm in diameter, which were confirmed by pathology. Observation indicators included location, size, shape, density, border and internal vacuoles of nodules, linear high-density shadow around the nodules, distance from the pleura, pleural indentation, and so on.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003There were statistically significant differences in the location, size, shape, internal vacuole of the nodules, and distance from the pleura (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The diagnostic scoring table of the nature of solid nodules and the malignant risk table were drawn. The nodule corresponding to Level A was most likely the primary lung cancer, and surgical resection was recommended. The nodule corresponding to Level C was most likely IPLNs, and it was better to receive no treatment currently. The positive predictive value was 81% (23\/28), the negative predictive value was 97% (89\/92), the sensitivity was 63% (23\/35), and the specificity was 81% (89\/110).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003For the pulmonary solid nodules of less than 12\u2009mm in diameter and unknown nature, the evaluation in accordance with the Score Table and the Risk Level Table of this study can be more accurate and faster than the original judgment, which will help clinicians in diagnosis and treatment
