Effect of lung inflation states on chest CT image quality and pulmonary nodule detection with visualized respiratory Indicator
Lung inflation states significantly impact both image quality and PN detection in chest CT. Deep inspiration end-breath hold provided optimal image quality and nodule detection, while non-fully inflated states reduced diagnostic accuracy, especially for PNs≤5 mm. In clinical application, deep inspiration end-breath hold is recommended as the best inflation state of chest CT.
