Abstract:Background
A calibration phantom-based method has been developed for predicting small lung nodule volume measurement bias and precision that is specific to a particular computed tomography (CT) scanner and acquisition protocol.
Methods
The approach involves CT scanning a simple reference object with a specific acquisition protocol, analyzing the scan to estimate the fundamental imaging properties of the CT acquisition system, generating numerous simulated images of a ta… Show more
