摘要：for SPCCT, CT and HR-CT, respectively. The Dice similarity coefficient was superior for SPCCT throughout nodule shapes and all nodule sizes (mean, SPCCT: 0.90; CT: 0.85; HR-CT: 0.85). 10% MTF improved from 10.1 LP/cm for HR-CT to 21.7 LP/cm for SPCCT. Visual investigation of small pulmonary structures was superior for SPCCT in the animal study. In conclusion, the SPCCT prototype has the potential to improve the assessment of lung structures due to higher resolution compared to conventional CT.
