Lung nodule detection and characterization with multislice CT.
The ability to identify and characterize pulmonary nodules has been dramatically increased by the introduction of multislice CT (MSCT) technology. Using high-resolution sections, MSCT allows considerable improvement in assessing nodule morphology, enhancement patterns, and growth. MSCT also has facilitated the development and potential of clinical application of computer-assisted diagnosis.
