Detection of pure ground-glass nodules in the lung by low-dose multi-detector computed tomography, with use of an iterative reconstruction method: a comparison with conventional image reconstruction by the filtered back-projection method.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of the iterative reconstruction (IR) method with low-dose multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) for lung cancer screening.Materials and Methods: A chest CT phantom containing simulated ground-glass nodules (GGNs) of 5 different sizes was scanned by use of 16-...
