Description

Highlights: • Lung nodules are reliably identified in studies utilising MBIR. • Radiation exposure is reduced 10-fold without loss of diagnostic accuracy. • Sensitivity is unaffected by sex or BMI. -- Abstract: To determine if ultra-low-dose (ULD) computed tomography (CT) utilising model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) with radiation equivalent to plain radiography allows the detection of lung nodules.
