Improved Detection of Bone Metastases from Lung Cancer in the Thoracic Cage using 5- and 1-mm Axial Images versus a New CT Software Generating Rib Unfolding Images

The use of unfolded rib images in patients with lung cancer improves sensitivity and specificity of rib metastasis detection in comparison to 5- and 1-mm CT slice reading. Moreover, it may reduce the reading time.
