Differentiation of Solitary Pulmonary Nodules from Benign to Malignant Using Non-contrast Dual Energy CT Electron Density Values
Electron density values obtained from dual energy CT may serve as a useful quantitative parameter for differentiating between benign and malignant SPN. However, attention should be paid to certain histological subtypes, such as invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma, which may exhibit exceptionally low values.
