Abstract
DE imaging outperformed DR imaging overall, particularly in the detection of small, solid nodules. DE imaging also performed better in regions dominated by anatomic noise, such as the lung apices. The potential for improved nodule detection and characterization at radiation doses equivalent to DR imaging is encouraging and could augment the broader use of DE imaging. Future studies will extend the initial cohort and rating scale tests to a larger cohort evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic analysis and will evaluate DE imaging in comparison and as an adjuvant to low-dose computed tomography.
