1. Disagreement in measuring the solid portion of a part-solid nodule when using different reconstruction algorithms and window settings.
Disagreement in measuring the solid portion of a part-solid nodule when using different reconstruction algorithms and window settings. A part-solid nodule in the apical segment of left lower lobe is shown. a) By using a high-spatial frequency algorithm and the lung window, the measured maximum axial diameter of the solid portion of the nodule corresponds to 20.3 mm; b) by using a smooth algorithm and the mediastinal window, the measured maximum axial diameter of the solid portion of the nodule corresponds to 16 mm. 2D: two-dimensional.
