  • Analysis of Pulmonary Nodules from Ct Scans Using the Contrast Agent Enhancement as a Function of Distance to the Boundary of the Nodule
    Publication number: 20080144909
    Abstract: For differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules, a certain fraction of malignant nodules do not exhibit significant enhancement when averaged over the whole nodule volume. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, not only a single averaged contrast enhancement number is determined, but an enhancement curve for each nodule, showing the enhancement as a function of distance to boundary of the nodule. This may provide for an improved differential diagnosis.
