The pulmonary image is smoothed for providing different pulmonary images (20, 21, 22) with different degrees of smoothing, wherein signal values and noise values, which are indicative of the lung vessel detectability and the noise in these images, are determined and used for determining an image quality being indicative of the usability of the pulmonary image to be assessed for detecting lung nodules. Since a pulmonary image shows lung vessels with many different vessel sizes and with many different image values, which cover the respective ranges of potential lung nodules generally very well, the image quality determination based on the different pulmonary images with different degrees of smoothing allows for a reliable assessment of the pulmonary image's usability for detecting lung nodules.
