摘要: Three-dimensional methods for quantifying pulmonary nodule volume at computed tomography (CT) and the effect of imaging variables were studied by using a realistic phantom. Two fixed-threshold methods, partial-volume method (PVM) variable method, used to calculate volumes 40 plastic nodules (largest dimension, <5 mm: 20 with solid attenuation ground-glass attenuation) known volume. Tube current times (20 120 mAs), reconstruction algorithms (high low frequency), characteristics studied. Higher precision was associated use PVM predetermined pure attenuation, high-frequency algorithm, diagnostic CT technique (120 mAs). A is promising quantification follow-up nodules.
