Abstract
For depicting indeterminate pulmonary nodules size 5 mm or greater, radiation dose levels for chest CT can be reduced to one-third of the radiation dose level used in the National Lung Cancer Scree... Background There is a wide variation in radiation dose levels that can be used with chest CT in order to detect indeterminate pulmonary nodules. Purpose To compare the performance of lower-radiatio...Keywords
