About this trial
The goal of this observational clinical trial is to establish a new method for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules by peripheral blood detection in patients with pulmonary nodules (\<3cm). The main questions it aims to answer is: How to combine blood metabolomic mass spectrometry detection and artificial intelligence image analysis to establish a new model for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. Participants will be asked provide 4 mL peripheral blood for the test.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age ≥18 years;
CT imaging shows the presence of pulmonary nodule <3cm which is scheduled for puncture biopsy or surgery (i.e., the target lesion), the presence of ≥2 target lesions of the same type (categorized by density) are allowed;

Disqualifiers
Imaging examination have suggested the possibility of metastasis at other sites;
