Computer-assisted solid lung nodule 3D volumetry on CT: influence of scan mode and iterative reconstruction: a CT phantom study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of high-resolution scan mode and iterative reconstruction on lung nodule 3D volumetry.

METHODS: Solid nodules with various sizes (5, 8, 10 and 12 mm) were placed inside a chest phantom. CT images were obtained with various tube currents, scan modes (conventional mode, high-resolution mode) and iterative reconstructions [0, 50 and 100 % blending of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR) and filtered back projection]. The nodule volumes were calculated using semiautomatic software and compared with the assumed volume from the nodules.

RESULTS: The mean absolute and relative percentage error improved when using iterative reconstruction especially when using the conventional scan mode; however, this effect was not significant. Significant reduction in volume overestimation was observed when using high-resolution scan mode (P = 0.011).

CONCLUSION: The high-resolution mode significantly reduces the volume overestimation of 3D volumetry. Iterative reconstruction shows a reduction in volume overestimation and error margin especially with the conventional scan mode; however, this effect was not significant.
