Analysis of pulmonary pure ground-glass nodule in enhanced dual energy CT imaging for predicting invasive adenocarcinoma: comparing with conventional thin-section CT imaging

Abstract

DECT could help demonstrate blood supply and indicate invasion extent of pGGNs, and monochromatic CT number of higher energy (especially 140 keV) would be better for diagnosing IA than lower energies. Together with size of pGGNs, the diagnostic capacity of IA could be better.
