The value of dual energy subtraction and computer-aided diagnosis on the detection of lung nodules by chest X-ray
Objective To investigate the value of DES and CAD on the detection of lung nodules by chest X-ray. Methods 21 cases with lung nodules who was confirmed by CT were analyzed and compared using DES and CAD or conventional chest X-ray, and to evaluate the value of DES and CAD in digital chest radiographs. Results There is significant difference using DES and CAD or conventional chest X-ray(P<0.05).Conclusion There is a certain value to detect lung nodules in digital chest radiographs using DES and CAD. DES and CAD is the beneficial supplement for conventional chest X-ray.
