TL;DR: The comparable performance of lung nodule CAD in ultra-low-dose and standard-dose images is of particular interest with respect to lung cancer screening of asymptomatic patients, and a correlation of 94% between the volume-equivalent nodule diameter as automatically measured on ultra-Low-dose versus on standard- dose images is observed, indicating that ultra- low-dose CT is also feasible for growth-rate assessment in follow-up examinations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system consisting of segmentation means (120) for applying a plurality of different segmentation methods (124) to the region of interest for obtaining an associated plurality of segmentations results (122), visualization means (140) for simultaneously displaying the plurality of results to a user, and a user input (160) for receiving from the user a selection command (162) indicative of a selection of one of the plurality segmentation results for establishing an associated one of those segmentations as a selected segmentation method (164).

TL;DR: The suggested method for measurement and visualization of contrast enhancement as radially resolved curves has reduced false negative results, and thus improved sensitivity, and proved to be a valuable tool for differential diagnosis between malignant and benign lesions using dynamic CT.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2D boundary start position corresponding to tissue of interest in a cross-section of volumetric image data is identified by a current position of a graphical pointer with respect to the crosssection.

TL;DR: Comparing ultra-low-dose CT scans of each patient shows that measurement of the ventrodorsal gravity effect is patient specific but reproducible and can be measured and corrected in an unsupervised way using robust fitting of a linear function.
