چکیده
We investigated and evaluated the detection of simulated lesions in various interstitial lung diseases using the dual-energy subtraction radiography method and flat-panel detector (FPD) images. We obtained a FPD system (GE Revolution XR/d), and employed dual-energy 60 kV and 130 kV exposure techniques. Three types of lung lesions, namely, micro-nodule, ground-glass, and honeycomb patterns were simulated with interstitial lung disease on a chest phantom. Chest images with and without simulated lesions were exposed and compared with standard images and subtraction images. We carried out evaluations with and without subtraction images and performed the analysis by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of detection. Results showed that the detection of interstitial lung diseases was significantly improved by the use of subtraction images. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) values of micro-nodule images obtained with and without subtraction images were 0.768 and 0.963, ground-glass images 0.670 and 0.917, and honeycomb images 0.768 and 0.996, respectively. A significant difference of p<0.05 was accepted. The use of dual-energy subtraction radiography with a FPD improved diagnostic accuracy in detecting cases of multiple interstitial lung diseases and was considered useful.

ID: 9840 Title: Dual Energy Chest Radiography Dual Energy Chest Radiography Visual detection of pulmonary abnormalities on screen-film radiographs is notoriously unreliable. Digital radiography can improve diagnostic accuracy due to its greater latitude, improved local contrast and more consistent image quality compared to screen-film systems. In addition to facilitating detection by traditiona...
