摘要：

The purpose of this study was to determine an optimal slice thickness that was efficient in differentiating malignant from benign solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images. For a total of 92 SPNs, four radiologist indicated their confidence level for the malignant or benign SPN on the CT images presented in 1-, 3-, and 5-mm slice thickness. HRCT could be used to differentiate more accurately the malignant nodules from the benign ones using 1-mm-thick sections than 3- or 5-mm-thick sections. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
